Coordinates: 52°33′25″N 0°07′52″W / 52.557°N 0.131°W / 52.557; -0.131 Whittlesey was a rural district in the Isle of Ely from 1894 to 1926. It was created by the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Whittlesey rural sanitary district, and consisted of one civil parish - Whittlesey Rural.
The parish and district entirely surrounded the urban district of Whittlesey, which contained the parish of Whittlesey Urban.
The parish and district were both abolished in 1926, becoming part of the Whittlesey urban district and parish.
Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or district:
“Some bring a capon, some a rural cake,
Some nuts, some apples; some that think they make
The better cheeses bring ‘em, or else send
By their ripe daughters, whom they would commend
This way to husbands, and whose baskets bear
An emblem of themselves in plum or pear.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
