SUMMARY:Talk: Sketching Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:February’s talk is from Hill’s Road student Michael Large who has been sketching some of Cambridge’s famous\, and less famous\, buildings. \n\n\n\nCambridge is too often seen as nothing but a university city. The town outside the gown is packed full of rich historical\, global and personal colour\, which I have always wanted to share as a native of the city. Buildings tell the most fascinating stories from our shared histories\, so I have chosen 25 buildings and neighbourhoods from across the city to tell the story of Cambridge\, my home. This ‘Sketching Cambridge’ project\, composed of 25 sketches and written pieces (including Mill Road’s own Mosque and Library\, the former Indian community centre) was part of an EPQ project for my Sixth Form\, Hills Road.  In this talk I’d love to share the process of researching\, writing and sketching the project\, as well as the connections and stories I’ve discovered in the process!  \n\n\n\nYou can see Michael’s sketches on Capturing Cambridge at https://capturingcambridge.org/self-guided-tours-linked-to-capturing-cambridge/sketching-cambridge/ \n\n\n\nThis talk will take place on Zoom\, please sign up to our mailing list to join us\, or you can watch on our Facebook page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can watch the recording of the talk here or on YouTube

SUMMARY:Talk: ‘Twas on a Monday morning’ - Laundry Work in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Local historian Tamsin Wimhurst uncovers the fascinating and often hidden history of the laundresses of Cambridge. \n\n\n\nWhy a talk about laundry and washing?  In 19th century Cambridge there were more women involved in the industry than in any other work. It was a job that they could turn to even during the toughest of times and one that if you could pay someone else to do it for you\, you would. As the century progressed steam laundries began to compete with the washerwomen but eventually even these were gazumped as laundry was brought back into the home and the ‘automatic’ took pride of place in the kitchen. Tamsin Wimhurst will take us through all these changes and hopefully bring back memories that many of us might have of washday. \n\n\n\nTamsin Wimhurst is a Trustee and founder of the David Parr House Charity which was set up in 2014 in order to conserve it and open up the house to the public.  Her first job was as a teacher where she spent many an hour taking her classes to museums and art galleries\, during which time her passion for history and collections grew.  This experience persuaded her to pursue a career in museum education\, curation and project management.  She has worked with a wide variety of communities and organisations in order to help them access their history and encourage an interest in their past.  Personally\, she has researched into a wide variety of themes including Laundry work\, River swimming\, Women workers and Celebrations.  She is a passionate supporter of small independent museums\, with a special interest in the ‘local’ where she sees the nation’s history unfold through the lives of individuals and their families. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Talk: Objects from 22 Ainsworth St - the working class world of the Crouch family
DESCRIPTION:A group of several score objects from a working class home in are being donated to the Museum of Cambridge. They were owned by Charles (1867-1912) and Clara Crouch (nee Peacock) (1872-1949) of and some of their 9 children. This survival is rare because it is so well documented and supplemented by family photographs. \n\n\n\nThis illustrated talk will explore the working\, political and cultural life of the Crouch family as it coped with the impact of economic hardship and war in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is given by Professor Nick Mansfield (UCLAN) and Robin Mansfield\, Charles and Clara’s grandsons. \n\n\n\nThe event takes place on Zoom – to join in please sign up to our mailing list. It will also be live streamed on our Facebook page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can watch the recording of this talk here or on YouTube.

SUMMARY:The History of Indian Restaurants in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:As part of our events for Open Cambridge 2021 we present a film from Shahida Rahman on the History of Indian Restaurants in Cambridge. \n\n\n\nBritain’s relationship with Indian cuisine has a long history\, dating back over 400 years to the 1600s. In the years between WWI and WWII\, the Indian restaurant community started to expand beyond London. As the number of Asians entering Britain increased so did the demand for more Indian restaurants\, and so business within the Indian cuisine market gathered momentum. \n\n\n\nIt was during the 1950s and 60s when a large influx of Asians migrated to Britain that the Indian restaurant concept started to spread even further throughout the UK. Some settled in Cambridge. The first Indian restaurant was the Kohinoor which opened in 1943 on Mill Road. \n\n\n\nShahida Rahman explores the history of the restaurants in Cambridge and tells her father’s story who established 2 restaurants in the 1960s and 70s. Find out how Indian cuisine has been adapted over the years to suit the English palate.

SUMMARY:Talk: Stories from Mill Road Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Mary Naylor recounts Stories from Mill Road Cemetery: as told to the Friends of Mill Road Cemetery \n\n\n\nFor every person buried in Mill Road Cemetery\, the website has a message which reads If you have any further information about this person or family\, please contact us at Friendsofmillroadcemetery@gmail.com. We are fortunate in that this has led to many people corresponding with us\, sometimes sending us valuable stories and photographs\, sometimes leading us to make further connections or to go down a quite different avenue of research; often the flow of information is two way. Mary Naylor tells us some of the resulting stories. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held on Zoom. If you want to join in then please sign up to the mailing list at https://millroadhistory.org.uk/mailing-list/ – the connection details will be sent to the list a few days before the talk.  \n\n\n\nThe talk will also be streamed on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/millroadhistory from 7:30pm where it can be watched by anyone – no Facebook account needed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can watch a recording of the talk here or on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Talk: Nick Barraclough – 'A Disorderly House'
DESCRIPTION:The Engineer\, The Crown\, The Flying Pig\, the Broadway\, the Radio… and me… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe story begins as a cowboy in Pontypool\, South Wales comes east to a Hills Road inn\, taking in Great Wilbraham on the way. There results quite a lot of violence\, a dead body in the Cam and\, topically\, the avoidance of vaccination. Then a move to the Broadway introduces the radio to Cambridge – back to the Hills Road inn with Cambridge’s own radio station\, Great Wilbraham revisited and that Hills Road inn comes under threat. \n\n\n\nNick Barraclough is a British radio producer\, presenter\, musician and writer\, who is best known for hosting shows related to specialist American music. He has for many years been the presenter of various music shows and documentaries on BBC Radio. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Barnwell-born but bound for glory: the forces that made Abbey United
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately this talk has had to be cancelled. We hope to be able to run it at a later date. \n\n\n\nBarnwell in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – poor\, hungry\, overcrowded and long vilified by the Victorian middle classes as the haunt of wastrels\, ne’er-do-wells and the plain wicked – became the focus of well-meaning efforts to improve its lot.  \n\n\n\nNothing raises a community’s spirits quite so much as a successful football team\, and out of Barnwell rose a club that\, in the form of Cambridge United\, would eventually knock on the door of the all-powerful Premier League. \n\n\n\nAbbey United was born in unpromising circumstances but\, drawing on the strength of its people – people who had been shaped by their surroundings and were perhaps influenced by the interventions of philanthropic agencies – grew and went on growing. \n\n\n\nThis talk by Pat Morgan\, of 100 Years of Coconuts\, examines the social and economic background behind the birth of a remarkable club. \n\n\n\nIt will be held using Zoom. To take part in the Zoom session and be able to ask questions of Pat then please sign up to our mailing list. The meeting link will be sent by email in a newsletter a few days before the talk. \n\n\n\nThe meeting will also be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/millroadhistory/ and can be watched there instead. \n\n\n\nThe event is free to watch but if you enjoy it please consider making a donation to our PayPal account\, see the button on the home page of this website.

SUMMARY:Talk: Town vs. gown – Social divides in Cambridgeshire antiquarian life
DESCRIPTION:Mariel Rodriguez explores how the 1830s national revival of interest in antiquarianism and archaeology was initially dominated by the University in Cambridge\, until residents like Frederick Leach and C. H. Evelyn White created their own advocacy spaces. By the 20th century the non-university antiquarian society was at the forefront of national preservation debates.

SUMMARY:Talk: Archaeology found by the public
DESCRIPTION:Dr Helen Geake\, well known for being part of Channel 4’s Time Team\, will explain how the Treasure Act and the Portable Antiquities Scheme have revolutionised our views of the past. Thirty years ago\, if you found something – even an important archaeological object – there was no systematic recording system. Today archaeological finds made by members of the public are properly recorded and ‘treasures’ are saved for the nation. \n\n\n\nHelen gained her PhD at York looking at how what people wore around the time of Sutton Hoo was linked to the political situation at the time\, when the new institutions of kings and the Church were changing life very fast. She later spent 10 years in Cambridge as the PAS’s early-medieval finds advisor and has since been training volunteers to record their finds on the PAS database and helping the general public use the data for their research. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7pm for a start at 7:30pm. Admission is a suggested £3 per person. All welcome\, fully accessible venue\, refreshments served afterwards.

SUMMARY:AGM and Talk: From Vice to Virtue: The Cambridge Female Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Just visible behind Christ Church on Newmarket Road is the roofline of the Cambridge Female Refuge\, founded in 1838 and functioning in the city until 1939. The Refuge was intended as a voluntarily reformatory institution for ‘fallen’ women\, that is to say\, women earning their living by sex work or considered to be in ‘moral danger’. Women inmates did laundry and sewing work\, learned to read and write and received religious instruction. At the end of around two years\, they were placed in respectable domestic service or returned to friends and family. While inside the institution\, women’s freedom of movement outside the Refuge site was largely restricted to attendance at church.  \n\n\n\nPhoto copyright Susan WoodallPhoto copyright Susan Woodall\n\n\n\nEvery Sunday\, they would walk through the door in the churchyard wall\, through their own private door at the back of the church and into a specially screened private pew. On their way\, they would pass the window designed by Frederick Leach\, who also painted the Refuge interior.  \n\n\n\nFor some women\, despite the hard work and long hours\, the Refuge provided genuine protection and a chance to change their life courses; for some\, separation from their families and the experience of confinement was unbearable. Other women’s experiences were more mixed; they stayed the course by finding inventive ways round institutional rules… \n\n\n\nText copyright Susan Woodall \n\n\n\nThis talk will be preceded by the Society’s AGM. \n\n\n\nThe event takes place at Ross Street Community Centre. Doors open at 7pm and the talk starts at 7:30pm. All are welcome\, Ross Street is a fully accessible venue\, tea and biscuits are provided afterwards. Admission is with a suggested donation of £3 per person.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Shop Girls
DESCRIPTION:“The Shop Girls\, the true story of Cambridge’s own Mr Selfridge who at one time lived in Mill Road.” \nThis is a talk by Ellee Seymour about shop workers who worked in an elegant ladies department store in Cambridge between the 1940s-60s. The store\, called Heyworth’s\, had all but faded from living memory until Ellee began her research – and discovered a family secret that Herbert Heyworth had taken to his grave. \nThe talk takes place at Ross Street Community Centre. Doors open at 7pm and the talk starts at 7:30pm. Fully accessible venue\, tea and biscuits provided after the talk. \n
