Littleport

Littleport is a large village in the Fens of Cambridgeshire, England, approximately 6 miles north of Ely and 6 miles south-east of Welney. 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 could not 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.
Today visiting boaters can enjoy the hospitality of The Black Horse Pub with visitor moorings.
