The Ship, Reach c.1910 (Cambs Collection)

The Ship, Reach

History of The Ship

The building which had been The Ship was demolished in the 1960s. The school building site became the Reach Village Centre.


4 July 1909

Reach church was built on the site of the old one in 1860 and for 40 years schooling has been held there. But the Board of Education had signified its intention of withdrawing recognition so a new school is being built on the site of the old Ship Inn to accommodate 80 children. The architect is Hubert Hunt of Burwell and the builder J.G. Cowell of Soham. CWN 09 07 04. Credit: Mike Petty, Burwell Scrapbook 1897 to 1990, reference CWN 09 07 04.
