A reader reminds me that athletics meetings were held on Victoria Square – formerly known as the Government Acre – before the move to Athletic Park on the Greenbelt at the Hamilton Road (SH1) Vogal Street corner. As I recall running at least the one meeting on the square the move must have happened around 1960 when I was intermediate / middle school age – please correct me if I am wrong. Athletic Park is on the left as you slow for the 50k sign travelling into Cambridge from the north west on the Hamilton Cambridge road.
Very close: A check at the Cambridge Museum from Cambridge Athletic & Harrier Club 1918-1993 Souvenier Booklet
and in the 1960-61 season the move to their own grounds at Athletic Park.
and btw on pp 33
