The eighteenth century London to King's Lynn coach route, documented by the Postmaster General's surveyor, John Cary, passed through Ely with a stop at the Lamb Inn, a coaching inn in 1753 and extant as the Lamb Hotel.
Zgodovinar osemnajstega stoletja Edmund Carter je v svoji "History of the County of Cambridge &c." iz leta 1753 opisal trikrat tedensko pot s kočijo "za udobno pošiljanje in sprejemanje pisem in majhnih pošiljk" iz Lamb Inna, Ely, do pošte v Cambridge.
