Growing Up in Cambridge by Alec Forshaw
It is said that, however long you live, and however far you travel, the streets and fields where you played as a child will always be home to you. So Cambridge is for Alec Forshaw. This is a story of a childhood in Cambridge in the 1950s and '60s, followed by three undergraduate years and three decades of frequent and regular visits until the ties of the parental home were broken. These are memories set down before they too disappear and they recall a Cambridge which for many will have faded. Those who have read Gwen Raverat's Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood will have seen in her description of the town and its society a different world. The reminiscences herein may rekindle more recent recollections, or simply entertain and amuse.
ALEC FORSHAW was Chief Conservation and Design Officer at the London Borough of Islington for 20 years. He has written or coauthored several books on London. ALAN AINSWORTH specializes in architectural and music photography. He worked in the City of London for 30 years.
