Shirts along Main St An Unusual Sight - 20th March 2005

Over the last century Littleport has been home to Hope Brothers Shirt Factory, Burberrys and currently Ede & Ravenscroft and Luke Eyres. It is a little known fact that textiles workers in Littleport are creating garments for international names such as Paul Smith and famous people, including gowns for the royal family and even Harry Potter…those scarves you see the Hogwarts students wearing are made right here in Littleport!

To celebrate this historical and varied past, ADeC has commissioned artist Zoë Chamberlain to design and create a temporary outdoor exhibition for Littleport. Her work will be installed above Main Street until 1st April 2005.

Since posting this page I have received the following email from the artist:

People might be interested to know that there is a book of images documenting my research into the industries and recording my ideas during the project, copies of which are housed in the Littleport society, the Library at littleport and the County archive amongst others.  I also have a website with a detailed portfolio entry about the installation plus information about the workshops attended by people from the town. www.zoechamberlain.com

Thanks again, Zoë Chamberlain
