SUMMARY:Exhibition: Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge is the first exhibition of its kind\, shining a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK. \nThis co-curated exhibition was created in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi and the African Caribbean Research Group. \nFeaturing for the first time a series of oral histories from local Caribbean Elders in Cambridge\, the oral histories capture special moments of family history\, experiences and invaluable community stories. 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.

SUMMARY:Talk: House of Spies
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1942\, Farm Hall in Godmanchester was requisitioned by the RAF and became Station 61b\, part of the Special Intelligence Service. Over the next three years\, agents from almost every occupied country passed through the Hall on their way to an uncertain future. When\, in the spring of 1945\, agents were no longer being dropped \,the Hall was transformed into a ‘holding’ property for 10 German nuclear scientists\, captured during the advance into Europe. Unbeknown to them\, every room was ‘bugged’\, even the garden. They stayed there until January 1946\, never once suspecting that their every word was recorded. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoger Leivers moved to Godmanchester in 1989\, and started doing World War I and World War II walks around the town\, and then became a volunteer with the local museum. In 2012\, he started work on his first book\, Stirling to Essen\, which covered the crew of a crashed short stirling bomber near his town. The book was published in 2017 and has now sold over 4\,000 copies worldwide. Four years later\, Godmanchester at War was published in hardback\, with over 1\,000 copies sold. \nAlong with other activities\, this has enabled Roger to donate over £40\,000 to a wide variety of causes in memory of the people who’s stories he tells. Book number 3 is in it’s planning stage! \nYou can find out more about the Godmanchester Stirling here. \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. We kindly suggest a donation of £8\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £7 for Standard\, £6 for Concession). Proceeds from this talk will be split between the Museum of Cambridge\, an independent charity\, and MAGPAS Air Ambulance. \n  \n\n\n\nBook Now!\n\nAccessibility \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.
