Description: | PRN 23938
The Ship Inn is though to date to around 1642 when Scottish and Irish prisoners of war and Dutch labourers were working on the drainage of the fens. However a map of this area in 1676 does not show the Inn. The Deeping Fe, Pinchbeck and Spalding Internal Drainage Board owned the Inn for many years, until 1970 when it was sold. The Ship Inn is constructed in brick with a concrete tile roof. Some areas have been extended in the 50s and these bits have felt roofs. Upon examination the building appears to have retained little obvious signs of its heritage apart from its brick shell. {1}{2}
The Ship Inn is mentioned in Whites directory, the proprietor is listed as John Ownsworth. {3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1642 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
