Preserving the past, opening the future.
Based in the iconic J.H.Adams & Sons building, Adams Heritage Centre exists to encourage, promote and widen education and interest in Fenland history. We're passionate about our local community and strong artist culture and so aim to regularly host workshops and events for all.
What we do
Opened in 1893, the J.H. Adams & Sons ironmongers building both offers a fantastic central to Littleport venue for all manner of exhibitions, workshops and events. It also acts as standing time capsule into the rich culture and history of the fens. Adams Heritage Centre is working to document, preserve and exhibit all the treasures it holds.

Restoring our floors
After more than 100 years of hard use it's fair to say floors in Adams needed some TLC. A tricky job when you want to preserve the history of the floor.
