WHERE
IS LITTLEPORT..?
“We
wish The Littleport Society all the best for what promises
to be an excellent event” said a Harley-Davidson spokesman...
“As the birthplace and home of one of the original founding
families of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Littleport
has a particular place in the hearts of Harley-Davidson
owners and it is great to see a permanent memorial to
mark the occasion – particularly in Harley’s 100th birthday
year”.
“We are thrilled that during the year marking the 100th
Anniversary of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Littleport
will be hosting events that embrace celebrating the contributions
of William Sylvester Harley, one of the co-founders and
the memory of his father, William, who was born in the
village.
Our families feel a deep sense of gratitude towards all
who are making the events possible and look forward to
meeting you all when you join us at the festivities”.
John Harley and Margo Manning (grandson and granddaughter
of William Sylvester Harley). |

Church of St. George for the...

Official
unveiling of
WILLIAM HARLEY
Memorial Monument
PICTURE
During the late 1990's Littleport attracted
Assisted Area Status, part of an EU Objective 5bn
package of regeneration. The aim was to help improve
the economy of Littleport, partly by funding various
tourist attraction type projects. Now in a transitional
period, the William Harley memorial has been commissioned
with funding of £20,000. The aim is to increase
the numbers of visitors to Littleport and help boost
the economy of the various trades and services.
