The
Littleport Society was
founded in 1987 and its the only non-political, non sectarian organisation
in Littleport whose membership is open to residents and anybody
else who holds an interest in this fenland town. The Society
consists of an expanding group of local people who voluntarily work
together in the interests of the community in which it lives.
The Society now has in excess of 1,000 members, who live not just
in Littleport but in other counties, as well as many in several
other countries including France, Australia, New Zealand and the
United States of America.
The Society arranges a popular programme of open meetings. These are usually held on the first Tuesday of every month at the Village Hall in Victoria Street, Littleport, when guest speakers come along to give an informative talk, almost invariably with a supportive slide-show. The evenings occasionally include entertainment by local singers and musicians. The Society sometimes arranges coach outings to places or interest within the region. 
The Society, ever since its formation, has been collecting photographic
and documentary reminders of Littleport, past and present. These
papers had been spread over various locations but are now being
moved into our new headquarters at 'The Barn' in the Main Street
car park. We also provide a large number of Local Publications by
Local Authors. PDF
PRICE LISTThe Barn has been refurbished with the aid of grants from the European Community and the East Cambs. District Council. The building is shared by the Parish Council on the ground floor and the Society whose archives occupy the top floor. |
