With there being no one else coming forward I have stepped forward to fill the breach. Whilst I have looked after the village website ( www.isleham- village.co.uk ) for the past seven years this edition of the Informer will be my first stab at the paper version. Apologies in advance for any errors but with time and perseverance these will be reduced. I am hoping to introduce a few new items in future editions i.e. naming people in old photos, also with the families permission the reposting of Joyce Drayton’s poems from the older Informers. Thank you Lisa, you have been great. I hope you enjoy this February edition with the photographs and articles showing the Festival of Light in St Andrews church. Thanks to all for organising this annual event and all that had trees and displays. Thanks must also go to all that contribute articles and pictures, (we are always looking for more) to those who advertise with us, and to all the help to put all these bits together and then distribute the Informer. A belated Healthy New Year to you all, and may 2019 bring you health and happiness.

    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.

  • Swaffham Crier Volume 26 Number 11 November 2002
    The Swaffham Crier Volume 26 Number 11 November 2002 Editorial Dark deeds in Swaffham Prior this last couple of months as it appears that shots have been fired at two householders windows, in both cases fracturing the outside pane of the double-glazed glass and leaving the inner unaffected (see 9). In both incidents, the shot appeared to come from the public footpath leading through to the Beeches, and the most recent incident took place in the dead of night. The Crier’s expert criminal profilers are on the case, and their conclusion is that the culprit is almost certainly a bored teen- age boy with an air-rifle (if in doubt, blame youth!). But the thought of someone crouching in the grass at 1.45 in the morning, taking careful aim at someone’s bedroom window and pulling the trigger really makes one shiver. Not least, because this is clearly a very cold and damp if not to say spooky occupation! So, young teenage person of a male persuasion, we recommend you desist from these daft deeds and instead, direct your energies to…. Youth Club! Where it is by contrast light, Contents bright, warm and friendly, or would be, if they could get the creosoting and the spring-cleaning Letters ................................... 2 Our Reporter........................ 4 and all the rest of the stuff done without all the Shooting Incident ................. 9 hassle they’re having at the minute!

County Councillor’s Annual Report: (Cllr Allen Alderson read Joshua Schumann’s printed report to the meeting) “ Ely Southern Bypass The works have passed several major milestones. Ely Southern Bypass will provide a huge boost for the area and will ease congestion in and around Ely by providing a new link between Stuntney Causeway and Angel Drove, reducing journey times by 56%. The new route will remove the need for heavy goods vehicles to use the railway level crossing – currently closed for 35 mins in every hour, a time set to increase as more trains use the line to a possible 50 mins by 2020 - and reduce collisions at the low railway bridge. Construction is progressing well, with the eastern, central and western embankments built. The abutments, which is where the bridge starts and ends, and the central pier over the railway are also, complete. We expect the project to be completed in October. Appreciating how important the scheme is to alleviate the misery felt by many residents in the area, working with partners the County Council found the initial funding to develop the much needed scheme as early as possible to get the work underway.
