Marshall's

1909 - Marshall's was established by David Gregory Marshall, in a small lock-up garage in Brunswick Gardens, Cambridge as a chauffeur drive company

1910 - this was an immediate success and prompted the move to larger premises in Kings Street

1912 - the company’s premises relocated to Jesus Lane when the trade expanded to include selling cars

1914-1918 - the garages were used for servicing and repairing vehicles required for the war effort

1920 - formal contracts were signed resulting in Marshall's being awarded the Distributorship for Austin in Cambridgeshire

1939-1945 - the garage was closed down as part of the war effort and re-opened in 1945 concentrating on Austin Cars. During the 60s/70s/80s the franchise base broadened

Marshall’s held the site under 2 leases: 15 March 1954 and 27 November 1957. Both leases expired on 24 March 2052.

By 2000 Marshall had ceased to trade from the premises and was in discussion with the College to agree a mutually acceptable use for the site. They explored different possibilities for developing the site in partnership with the College. These were ultimately unsuccessful and in 2001 the College acquired the site by buying out the Marshall Group's long lease.

The Marshall's garage occupied the site between Little Trinity (16 Jesus Lane) and 22 Jesus Lane. There was a garage, showroom and offices.
