Scope and content
In the 1790's Cambridge Corporation sold 999 year building leases of the waste on the south side of Walls Lane [King Street]. Number 96 King Street and 2 Pikes Walk were built on part of waste that included a large pond. Jesus College aquired the lease in 1931.
Most of the early records deal with these two properties together or as one house and are catalogued under 96 King Street [JCAD/3/CAM/KING/22]. A report on the possible conversion of numbers 1 and 2 Pikes Walk and 96 King Street into graduate accomodation is catalogued with 96 King Street [JCAD/3/CAM/KING/22/4/1]. The transfer of this property to Megahart Limited is found with the records of 96 King Street [JCAD/3/CAM/KING/22/1/1997]
