Helen Weinstein is the community historian for the Ironworks site, telling the stories in and around the new development, an area formerly known as Sturton Town. This talk will give insights into the skilled Victorian workers who lived in the streets nearby, like the foundry managers and turners and moulders.  Helen will trace how the Headly Foundry and coprolite mill contributed to the local business economy and share research into the minute books from the Cambridge Borough Committees.
