Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 by Mike Petty
Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 by Mike Petty Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 Extracts from ‘A Cambridgeshire Scrapbook’, compiled by Mike Petty 16 Nov 2016 Introduction Each evening from March 1997 to March 2015 I compiled a ‘Looking Back’ column in the Cambridge News in which I feature snippets from issues of 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

De Erven Loosjes, Haarlem [1893] Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/muli004wint01_01/colofon.htm © 2007 dbnl / erven Pim Mulier t.o. I IN DE BUFFETTENT VAN THIALF. (Heerenveensche wedstrijden Winter 1890.) Pim Mulier, Wintersport III Voorbericht. ‘Wintersport’ is een bescheidene poging van schrijver dezes om aan de Nederlandsche beoefenaars van ijsvermaken hetzij een beeld uit het verleden voor den geest te roepen, of hun iets nieuws op dit gebied mede te deelen. Daar het formaat van dit boekje aan zekere grenzen gebonden is, zijn de voor ons belangrijke evenementen het breedvoerigst besproken en is de geschiedenis der ijssport in de andere landen meer globaal behandeld. Ik heb bij dezen tevens het genoegen mijn hartelijken dank uit te spreken aan hen, die mij de noodige gegevens verstrekten. Zoo in de eerste plaats aan den Heer Ary Prins voor zijne hulp bij de samenstelling van het hoofdstuk Figuurrijden en door de mij verstrekte bizonderheden omtrent den Duitschen Bond. In de tweede plaats zeg ik den Heer K. Pander mijn besten dank voor den tijd, dien hij heeft willen geven aan onze gesprekken over ‘vooroefeningen’, gesprekken waaruit wij beiden de hier te Pim Mulier, Wintersport IV boek gestelde conclusies hebben getrokken. Ook den Heer Holst ben ik dank verschuldigd voor het tijdelijk afstaan der oude jaargangen van Ned. Sport, terwijl de Heer E. Smit te Glasgow mij omtrent de reglementen van ‘Curling’ en de Heer C.G. Tebbutt gegevens voor den Engelschen Bond verschafte. Ook Jhr. E. Barnaart, Herman Kolff, (Rotterdam), Jhr. W. Barnaart en Binnert Overdiep te Heerenveen boden mij de behulpzame hand door het tijdelijk afstaan van photographiën en manuscripten. -

Dear Mr Rosen the Current Discussion Around the Closure of Welney
Dear Mr Rosen The current discussion around the closure of Welney School offers a unique opportunity to offer a prototype of the highly successful Dutch education programme. In the past the Fens looked to Holland for knowledge and experience in land drainage in order to bring the area back to life and we should now be looking at the education system and use their knowledge and experience to preserve the Fenland Schools like the one in Welney which could become a rural education hub for the country and surrounding areas if managed in the correct way. The school has been lacking strong management and all that is needed is passionate leadership to recapture interest to breathe life back into the school the happiness and confidence of the pupils is already clearly apparent I hope you will find the time to read the attached letter and appendices and give due consideration to what is potentially a disaster in the village if the school is closed. The Ouse landscape Partnership is making great strides to encourage and underpin the preservation of the fenland rural culture and the closure of the school would be another negative nail in the coffin of the fens Yours sincerely 14 October 2015 Dear Mr Rosen Re: William Marshall School, Welney This area of the Fens is a tribute to the legacy of Sir Peter Scott’s vision promoting conservation alongside the guardianship of country crafts and techniques. Welney is a renowned centre for ice skating and provides the area with one of the best natural ice skating rinks in the country with the National Ice -
