Hi everyone,
On this board of the forum you're welcome to discuss any issues relating to Cambridge history and heritage, or even any current affairs and issues happening in Cambridge.
If you have news of an event or any other announcement it should be in the other board, so you'll have to contact me, Dave Homewood (the Moderator and Cambridge Historical Society Secretary), and I can then place it on the other board.
Everything else goes here on this board. Whether you have family history questions, general queries about the history of the town, or you want to talk about an issue, maybe impart some memories, write a story or poem related to the town, anything.
Have fun chatting.

My Grandfather Walter Storrow Rigby was an Architect in Cambridge and Hamilton
approximately 1903-1910. He was a sometime partner with J.W. Warren and they
designed the Cambridge Club in 1907 and later won a competition to design the
Carnegie Library in Hamilton. If anyone has any information on Walter Rigby would
love to hear from you. Walter's wife was Eliza Annie Rigby who was a school teacher.
Daughters Norah Rigby was born in Cambridge 1905 (my mother) and Molly was born
in 1907.
Walter disappeared in 1911 never to be heard from again.
Grandmother Eliza taught at Tamahere School in 1917.
Many thanks
katrina

Hello, I'm brand new to this board. I'm just curious about some of the shops and such
that were around cambridge in the 1960s and 70's.
I was born in the sixies and I faintly recall going to a drive-in somewhere in cambridge.
and having hamburgers in what I think was central square. My brother says it was a
white castle and it was near mass ave and western ave right where the three streets
meet.
I was hoping there wear photos of some of these because all I can remember about central
square as a child is that there was a cigar store on the courner that is now a bank. There
was a men's clothing shop there as well. I think there was a rexall druggest in that block but
then again I was just a child so I might be mixing things up.
If anyone knows of any websites for books I would really appreicate it.
thank you,
Melodie
