Victorian Shop Front.
The frontage of the Enid Porter Building, which is a newer part of the Folk Museum, Cambridge, was originally a shop at 45, Bridge Street. When the area was redeveloped by St John's College in 1938, the Victorian shop front was saved by the custodian of the museum. It was incorporated into the new extension in 2005 after standing in the yard for many years. Enid Porter (1909-1984) was the curator of the Folk Museum and was a leading authority on folklore, collecting regional stories and customs.
