CAMBRIDGE GARDENS, N10 Planning applications up to Mar 2010 History On the site now Cambridge Mews, was the factory of the Cambridge Instrument Company which made scientific instruments. My school friends and I used to go to the Goods Inward window and ask the clerk for the stubs of his pencils. They were too short for him but just right for youngsters. He did have to account for the pencils he used, but we did manage to get some from him. When my father severely injured his hand he went to the factory and the nurse dressed it for him (Elizabeth Carter FB&DLHS 2 June 2001) An ad for a property in Cambridge Gardens states “built in 1980s” (Bairstow Eves) Ad for Cambridge Gardens in Barnet Press 10 May 1984 (page XV) states “First release of superb new 2 bed flats due soon” Prices from around £39,500 Friern Barnet & District Local History Society CAMBRIDGE MEWS, N10 Planning applications up to Mar 2010 History On the site now Cambridge Mews was the factory of the Cambridge Instrument Company which made scientific instruments.

He transferred his instrument workshop from Hatton Garden to Sydney Road in 1903 where he specialised in the manufacture of instruments such as thermometers. By then much extended, the factory closed in 1975. In 1920 the firm had become the Cambridge Instrument Company which, in 1974 was taken over by Brown Boveri, a Swiss firm. At its peak it employed about 750 people. Cambridge Close is built on the site and Robert Paul’s house at no 49 now has a blue plaque. (Finchley and Whetstone Past by John Heathfield.
