Its office has been located on Green Street,[1] Trinity Street[2] and St Mary's Street.[3] A large number of books about Cambridge were published by W. Metcalfe and Sons during that era.[4] In 1836, William Metcalfe was a contender for the printer of Cambridge University Press, but was defeated by John Parker.[3]

The Cambridge General Advertiser, first issued in 1839, was printed by William Metcalfe and Jonathan Palmer. Metcalfe continued as printer until 1846, after which it changed hands a number of times before closing in 1850.[5]
