Jumble Sales over the years in Cambridge
Painting of a Jumble Sale St John’s Hall Blinco Grove Cambridge by Joan Punter.
My aunt Joan has asked me to share this painting that she did years ago of a jumble in Cambridge.
Joan writes:
“I painted this picture years ago in memory of the old St John’s Church Hall jumble sales in Blinco Grove. Kids would buy wonderful books and toys, mum would get sewing things and jewellery, then you could bid in the auction for garden items, a cycle or even vintage furniture. We would then trundle home to Glebe Road with our treasures.”
We would love to hear your memories of jumble sales over the years in and around Cambridge. If you have any pictures or memories to share please do use the Comments form below to share them here and perhaps we’ll gather enough to publish a little book about it. If you would prefer, you can also use the Contact form instead to send an email. I’m sure that we could all tell a tales or two about interesting finds from jumbles and some of the characters encountered!
