Stories collected in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi share the fantastic legacy of the Windrush generation through music\, food\, religion\, the arts and community. From pub landlords\, local newsagent owners and steelpan bands\, the exhibition celebrates the people at the heart of Cambridge’s community. \nThis project was only made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This project brought together an intergenerational team of volunteers to tell the story of the local community. A group of young “Windrush Curators” worked alongside elders\, family members and local community members to research\, uncover and share the untold histories of Cambridge’s Caribbean past. \nDisplaying a range of personal items on loan from community members\, the exhibit features photographs\, textiles\, steel pans\, local cricket history and 6 new oral histories for visitors to explore. \nFind out more about the exhibition here. \nAccessibility \nYou can read about our accessibility information on our website here Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge.

The whole project began with the re-building of Histon Road and Milton Road. Local Histon Road residents were concerned about the road – what were we to do? \nQuick quick! We set up 2 residents associations\, and joined the discussions to make sure the road schemes were sensible. We then got ourselves together to include local residents in their personal histories of the road. We had meetings at centres all down Histon Road to gather residents together and hear their memories\, and during Covid\, this all morphed into a book\, A Community Remembers: Histon Road. \nThis is a roundtable discussion by the collaborators of the book\, A Community Remembers: Histon Road. A local oral history project supported by Cambridge City Council and Histon Road Co-op\, this beautifully compiled book has drawn on the memories and experiences of locals and forms an important record of the history of Histon Road. \nBook this talk today! \n  \nAbout the Speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotograph by Faruk Kara. \nLilian Rundblad: Local resident interested in the history of the neighbourhood and who set up the local residents’ association\, HRARA. Lilian was the mover-shaker behind the whole idea of documenting Histon Road and its environs and applied for local grants to run the meetings. \nAlison Wilson: Local resident and main author of the book. Alison introduced the Oral History programme (and the Museum of Cambridge trained our interviewers). \nFaruk Kara: Local resident and photographer\, his personal and colourful images made a special contribution to the book\, and his video of the historical stories from residents and re-building of Histon Road can be found on his website. \nAnna Crutchley: local resident and second author\, who also set up a local residents’ association\, BenRA. Anna noticed that the Co-op was inviting applications for a community grant\, which we received to print the book. As we were all volunteers\, this meant that profits from sales could be given out to local organisations. Anna also maintains the website. \nFind out more about Histon Road and the book: https://www.histonroadmemories.uk \nFind out more about Faruk Kara’s photography: https://www.faruk.kara.org.uk \n\n\n\n\n  \nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge \nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

Filmmakers Ryan Cooper Henniker (Being Both\, 2019) and Matthew Ward (Stranger\, 2024) set out to showcase a side of Cambridge that is seldom celebrated and mostly hidden from an external gaze. \nRyan\, director and photographer\, notes: “Cambridge is an internationally revered centre of academic and scientific excellence\, an image that is continuously projected by media and City officials\, but that’s only half the story: the city is so much more\, and diverse in every sense of the word with a rich local history. Cam attempts to archive it before development and unaffordability turns Cambridge into something else.” \nEvery sound was recorded in person by Matthew\, and the film’s sound design incorporates around 100 local voices alongside cars\, mopeds\, buses\, construction work\, bicycle bells\, gentle sounds of the river Cam and its wildlife\, and even someone vaping. Designed to imitate an immersive walk through the streets of Cambridge in 2024\, it shows how every voice has a different rhythm and pitch\, that changes in many ways depending on our emotions and environment. \nInterview subjects consist of a wide range of residents from community group founders\, staff at Milton Recycling Centre and local influencer and mental health advocate The Barefoot Guy. Participants’ stories highlight deep-rooted rituals and connections to the city and its former life as a collection of villages with their own customs. The stories of local families and views juxtapose with the increasingly transient nature of the city. \nCam features one interview with a resident speaking in the now rare Cambridge accent\, a dialect dying out as new citizens move in\, and long-time communities disperse. \nThe images were shot across hundreds of hours of walking the streets and connecting with locals\, mixed with unexpected and unstaged moments\, captured from afar. \n  \nThe temporary exhibition Cam opens on Monday 3rd of February and will be on display until early April.  Standard admissions rates apply. Entry is £7 with a donation\, £6 as standard and free for 16 years and under.  \nAccessibility \nYou can read about our accessibility information on our website here Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge.

WE WILL BE RECORDING THIS TALK; PLEASE EMAIL ENQUIRIES@MUSEUMOFCAMBRIDGE.ORG.UK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE TALK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE. \nDiscover the powerful history and significance of textile banners and their role in women’s activism with Carey Bennet and Cathy Dunbar\, in this companion talk to our exhibition ‘Educating Cambridge’. \nCarey Bennet and Cathy Dunbar will share about the making of banners by Cambridge women within the context of a UK wide project in 2018 to commemorate women’s suffrage. This project celebrated the use of banners by the suffragists and suffragettes of the 1900s\, who marched to demand the vote for women. Over history\, women have used their province of sewing and weaving to assert themselves in the face of inequality and misogyny.

She caught the attention of Principal Mary Allan who persuaded her to teach at the ‘Cambridge Ragged School’ (founded 1854) in New Street\, a building now housing Anglia Ruskin’s Music Therapy Department. She is now remembered there by a Blue Plaque\, for her “pioneering struggle” as a “lifelong champion” of women’s and children’s causes. Homerton College is also recorded as funding renovation of the Ragged School. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiss Allan and other Homertonian women joined the suffragette movement. Leah herself was politically active as a member of the Fabian Society in Cambridge and aligned with trade unions and the Social Democratic Federation to support the emergent Labour Party. Leah herself in 1919 became Cambridge Chair of the National Federation of Women Workers\, campaigning against low pay and conditions of female ‘bedders’ in colleges. She went on to be one of the first women Labour MPs for Islington East\, and after World War 2\, she won Winston Churchill’s former seat as MP for Epping. \nMeanwhile\, as a campaigner against the Spanish Civil War\, in 1937 she used her political skill and experience to persuade the British government to provide a ship for evacuation of 3\,888 children from Bilbao following the bombardment of Guernica. She then oversaw the placement of these evacuees in various parts of the UK. A plaque can be seen on a house in Station Road\, Cambridge\, where Jesus College accommodated 29 Basque refugee children. \nAbout the Speaker \nPeter Cunningham studied at Cambridge 1967-’70 focusing on history and history of art\, followed by a year in Norwich at UEA and research at Leeds University. Increasingly interested in education through art\, he engaged in teacher education at Westminster College\, Oxford\, taught at primary schools in Oxford and Leicester\, before returning to teacher education in Cambridge at Homerton College. \nA recent collaborative book with Catherine Burke and Lottie Hoare is: \nEducation through the Arts for Well-Being and Community: \nThe Vision and Legacy of Sir Alec Clegg \nwith contributions by Clegg’s nephew Sir David Attenborough\, \nand the late Sir Tim Brighouse\, inspirational educationist\, to whom I owe much. \n\n\nBook now: \nLeah Manning’s Legacy: Cambridge\, Women’s Rights\, and Spanish Refugees Tickets\, Thu\, Dec 5\, 2024 at 1:00 PM | Eventbrite \n  \nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge \nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

The Attic has received extensive restoration by our landlords\, Cambridge City Council\, to repair damage caused by rot and woodworm. This repair involved completely reconstructing the attic dormer and installing new oak timbers and plaster walls using specialised heritage techniques. \nMini Museums Exhibition\nIn January 2023\, we launched the Mini Museums programme in Cambridgeshire\, inviting residents to design their very own Mini Museum. Our goal was to discover what was important to the people of the region and what cherished memories or objects they would want to represent in their very own miniature museum. \nThe response we received was astounding. Almost 3000 people participated in the programme in just two months\, creating Mini Museums at home\, attending workshops\, and engaging with us at our pop-up stalls. Demand was so high that we ran further workshops throughout the summer of 2023\, engaging even more communities in the programme. \nThe Mini Museums created by the residents of Cambridgeshire are truly remarkable\, showcasing the creativity and passion of our community –and this new exhibition celebrates just that. The Mini Museums on display depict everyday activities that hold deep meaning to local residents\, such as punting on the River Cam\, swimming in the Lido\, exploring the Fens\, visiting museums\, enjoying Sunday lunches in the pub\, and playing footie in the park. \nYou can find out more about the project here. \nDo book your ticket via Eventbrite. Admission is £5.50 and all proceeds go towards supporting the word of the Museum in caring for and sharing the local histories of Cambridge and the surrounds. \nIf you need help booking\, please email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk or call us at 01223 355159.
