Littleport is a large
village in
the Fens of
Cambridgeshire,
England, approximately 6 miles north of
Ely and 6 miles south-east of
Welney. It lies on the Bedford Level South section of the
River Great Ouse, close to

Littleport was the site of the Littleport Riots of
1816. War-weary veterans from the
Battle of Waterloo had returned home, only to find that they couldn't get any work, and that the grain prices had gone up. They took to the streets and smashed shops and other buildings until troops came to put an end to the riots. Some original historical documents relating to the riots are held by
Cambridgeshire Archives and Local Studies at the County Record Office Cambridge.
From 1979-1983,
Jim Burns guitars were based in Padnal Road in Littleport. They produced guitars such as the Steer, popularized by guitarist
Billy Bragg.
