Main Street, Littleport c.1905

Main Street, Littleport

History of Main Street

On the left of the featured photo is the house of John Adams. He succeeded Mr Cheesewright as postmaster about 1900. Mr Adams owned the ironmonger’s next door; this had previously belonged to H & J Cutlack. Further away the sign of the Cross Keys pub can be seen; this closed down in 1908. Opposite is the Globe Inn; it was demolished in 1962.

This was formerly the Hare and Hounds. In 1969 the licensee was Francis Warner.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
