At 15\, following the tragic death of his mother in 1964\, Nelson decided to join the army. His military career began in 1967 when he enlisted in the British Army’s boy service. He eventually served in various roles\, including driver\, radio operator\, and clerk in the Royal Engineers. His military journey took him to places like West Germany\, Northern Ireland\, Gibraltar\, Malta\, and Cyprus\, where he became one of the few black soldiers in many of these units. \nIn 1975\, Nelson married his long-time sweetheart\, with whom he had two children\, and continued his distinguished military career\, rising through the ranks. After 39 years of service\, he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2006. Reflecting on his time in the army\, Nelson speaks proudly of his achievements and the camaraderie he experienced\, particularly in overcoming racial barriers in a predominantly white military. \nJoin Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi for a private interview with Lieutenant Colonel Nelson to celebrate the legacies of Caribbean community in Cambridge.   \nThis is a companion event to our exhibition\, ‘Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge’\, which aims to shine a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the 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.

This is the story of those magical times. \nThis event will offer a luminous deep dive into the lives of men from Dee to Kepler to Bruno\, who were also scientists\, astrologers\, mathematicians and alchemists. \nThe remarkable ideas of these magical men still permeate modern culture\, from Philip Pullman to C S Lewis. But what do we know of the rest of their households – the lovers\, wives\, mothers and daughters? \nIn The Years of the Wizard Rachel Morris also vividly reimagines the less documented lives of the magicians’ families and lovers whose stories have too often been overshadowed by those of the powerful men in their company. \nWomen supported the travelling households by packing up the libraries\, feeding the assistants\, entertaining the patrons and educating the children as well as archiving\, documenting and collaborating on magical work. Without them\, this astonishing era of discovery would have ground to an emphatic halt. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nFormer director of the museum-making company Metaphor\, Rachel Morris has been part of the creation\, design and delivery of some of the most exciting displays\, renovations and museums of the last few decades\, from the new Cast Courts at the V&A and the Ashmolean\, Oxford to the Terracotta Warriors at the British Museum and Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

His personal photography project — A Cambridge Diary\, saw him post a photograph of his hometown online every day for more than thirteen years. At the end of last year at number 5\,000\, he published his final continuous daily picture receiving the attention of national and international media including The Guardian\, BBC and Smithsonian Magazine. He has published two books – ’Town & Gown’ and ’Time & Space’ – each with a picture for every day of the year selected from his archive of photographs. Martin will be talking about his Cambridge Diary project\, his photography and the importance of the viewer in the creative process. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nMartin Bond was born in Cambridge and has lived in the city all his life. His grandparents ran The Little Rose Public House\, which still trades on Trumpington Street opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum. His mother was an invoicing clerk at Pye Telecommunications\, while his father\, a carpenter\, worked for Coulson & Son\, both businesses with a long history in Cambridge. He has a younger sister and two nephews. \nMartin’s chequered career includes employment as a building surveyor with Coulson & Son\, a retail manager for Andy’s Records\, a singer in professional show band Cops\, Advertising Manager for the Cambridge Evening News and Marketing Director for London media agency Mediaforce. \nIn 2001 Martin left his job in the City and started working as a freelance graphic artist. During this period of self-employment one of his clients asked about some photography work and occasional requests developed into regular assignments for prestigious brands including Jaguar and Coutts & Co. Accidentally\, Martin found that he had become a professional photographer and has continued in this profession. \nFind out more about Martin at acambridgediary.co.uk  and cambridgebooks.co.uk \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.
