Talk: The History of the Cambridge Townscape

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMBRIDGE TOWNSCAPE 1500-2023 with Tony Kirby

Sat, 13 May 2023 14:15

In this illustrated talk, Tony Kirby looks at the changing built environment of Cambridge from the eve of the Reformation to the present day, using what survives today as a guide to what had happened over the past five centuries as a result of the combined -and often conflicting – activities of the Colleges, private developers large and small, architects and local government, together with the railways and the attempts to deal with growing road traffic in the 20th and 21st centuries. So we shall go from the few surviving late medieval houses, through the private affluence and public squalor of the Georgian era, the activities of Victorian and Edwardian developers and the public and private housing schemes of the 20th century to today's delights of CB1, Eddington and Marleigh, with a quick look at Bar Hill, Cambourne and Waterbeach.

Tony Kirby was before retirement Co-ordinator of Strategic and Curriculum Planning at Anglia Ruskin University. He is Acting Co-President of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, Secretary of the Cambridgeshire Association for Local History and also of the County Advisory Group on Archives and Local Studies.Please go to https://www.cfhs.org.uk/events.html to book your placeThis talk will be held at St Andrews Street Baptist Church and on Zoom. Members will be able to access a recording of the talk in the members only area afterwards if they are unable to make the date.
