Histórico
From Capturing Cambridge website:
William Sindall (1853-1934) was the youngest son of a farmer (who doubled as a maltster & brewer) in Isleham. He started life as a carpenter in Cambridge, but by 1880 he already had his own building business which specialised in quality work for the university. His two elder sons were killed/died of wounds in WW1, but his youngest son carried on the firm.
Founded by William Sindall early in the 20th century, the firm is believed to have started in Mill Road before moving to Newnham Mill. At the end of the 1940s the firm was in Gloucester Street up Castle Hill. They moved in the 1950s to the Cherry Hinton Road site because of a planning scheme that would have seen a new roundabout at the top of Castle Hill with a new road through the old Sindalls site parallel with Magrath Road. This project was eventually aborted.
According to the Cambridge News article of 1964, at that time the firm employed around 1,200 people. The managing directors were the two brothers H D and F A Ridgeon.
