Memory Boxes

Remembering Shops & Trades of Cambridge

In Autumn 2013 two workshops were held at the Museum of Cambridge in which participants were asked to explore memories and memorabilia of Cambridge shops and trades of the past. 
Comments from participants after the event included:

'[I enjoyed] the interaction between participants and memories of old shops and businesses’.

'Wonderful, productive environment'

'I learned how to collage and transfer images. I’ll definitely be trying this again.’

‘I want to write more reminiscences!’

‘Inspired to make my own booklet.’
