Interesting fact of the day: sixty years ago in 1961, one in four homes in the Ely Rural District of Cambridgeshire didn’t have an indoor toilet or a toilet attached to the building.

And nearly one in three homes didn’t have a fixed bath.

The old Ely Rural District (more or less) covered the current Sutton division, plus Haddenham and Wilburton, Stretham, and Littleport. (Area outlined in black below.)
