Came to the College as part of the Barnwell Inclosure Act of 1809
New Square is made up of three rows of terraced two storey Gault brick and slate roofed houses. Each of the three terraces were built at different stages: the South terrace c. 1825; the East terrace c. 1834 and the North terrace c. 1835

Eastbourne Terrace (63-99 Hills Road)
1-19 Eastbourne Terrace now known as 99-63 Hills Road (odd numbers)

The portion of the road frontage where Nos. 63-99 Hills Road were built was first leased to Richard Reynolds Rowe (the College Agent). He did not take up his option and in 1865 he assigned his interest to Arthur John Gray (builder)

In 1870 a lease of 8 dwelling houses called Eastbourne Terrace was granted to Gray for 40 years. By 1884 (when the lease was due for renewal) he had built 11 more making 19 in total

He kept an interest in 6 houses (Nos. 1, 2, 5, 8, 10 and 11 Eastbourne Terrace) and after his death in 1898 he left his daughter, Elizabeth Jane Bennett, these houses (now called Nos. 79, 81, 85, 91, 97 and 99 Hills Road)

The name changed from Eastbourne Terrace to Hills Road around 1896

College Terrace (101-123 Hills Road)
This was next to Eastbourne Terrace and consisted of 12 houses. These are now 123-101 Hills Road (odd numbers)

Trumpington Inclosure (172-176 Hills Road)
For a history of Nos. 172-176 Hills Road see under 172 Hills Road

Title to the land in the Station Road area stems from the Barnwell Inclosure Award 1808-1809.

In 1846 the College agreed to sell land to the Eastern Counties Railway Company for a station and for the approved road.
The conveyance was signed in 1850 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1850].

The College then gave notice to its agricultural tenants and started to let the land to developers. The occupiers in 1847 were Mr Dixon, Mr Gotobed (most of his land was sold to the Great Eastern Railway Co in 1874) and Mr George Bullen (who farmed the land on the south side of Station Road).

Land near the station was leased to Robert Sayle on 7 March 1859 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1859]
This lease was determined on 22 March 1873 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1873] and the land sold to the Great Eastern Railway Company.

On 4 June 1874 Arthur John Gray was granted a lease of the first of his houses 'Salisbury Villa' built on the north side of Station Road [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1874]
This lease included land afterwards compulsorily purchased by the Cambridge Improvement Commissioners to make Tenison Road.

6 May 1876 Arthur John Gray surrendered to the College part of Gotobed's allotment in order that the College might sell it to the Great Eastern Railway Company [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1876/1].

On 24 December 1888 Arthur John Gray renewed his lease of 1, 2, and 3 Salisbury Villas [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1888]
When the lease was renewed it was found that Gray still held a square piece of land at the rear of the gardens of his houses, separate from them, with a frontage to the proposed new Tenison Road of 400 feet.

On 11 December 1885 the Notice of proposed purchase of land for the roadway under the Public Health Act 1875 was issued
The conveyance was signed on 9 July 1889.

1 November 1888 the College agreed with Arthur John Gray to pay him an annuity in the form of a remission of rent. Gray thereby surrendered 3150 square yards of land for the road.

On 14 March 1894 Gray surrendered to the College two pieces of land at the back of his houses Salisbury Villas and Arundel Villas. The first portion was in a lease dated 1874 and the second in a lease of Arundel Villas dated 1 November 1882. This land was then leased to developers to build houses facing Tenison Road and Tenison Avenue. This left Gray with 200 feet frontage on Tenison Road (the site of St Colette's School).

The College planned Tenison Avenue, leasing sites to builders, so that it was left with a piece of land extending as far as the Highsett houses. Mr Charles Armstrong, builder of some of the Tenison Avenue houses, took this on a yearly agreement in 1897 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1897].

Malcolm Street is named after a former benefactor to the nunnery of St Radegund, Malcolm IV, King of Scotland.

According to the Royal Commission Survey of Cambridge 1959, the five terraces of Malcolm Street, 1-6, 7-11, 16-18, 19-25 and 26-29, were probably built by James Webster, a local builder, soon after 1842.

Records are of properties in Manor Street before the street was moved to the west as part of the Manor Place development [JCAD/3/CAM/MAN]. Resultantly these properties no longer exist

Leases relating to properties on Jesus Lane have been catalogued under the current property number.

However, there are many leases, particularly relating to 17-32 Jesus Lane which don't easily relate to an existing property. This area has undergone much development since the earliest records held in the Archive which date to the 14 and 15th centuries. Often there were a number of smaller houses with cottages, workshops and stables behind or there was one bigger house where there are now 4.

Explanatory notes have been added to the catalogue to help researchers understand the history of each section of the street.
