LOCALITY
Locality
Situated
in the extreme South-East of Cambridgeshire, adjoining the County of Suffolk and
The Isle of Ely, Soham is a large parish of reclaimed fens and meres which are
now highly productive agricultural land, being particularly noted for root crops
and fruit.
Soham lies 8 miles North-West of Newmarket, 6 miles South-East of the Cathedral
City of Ely, 8 miles west of Mildenhall and 19 miles North-East of Cambridge,
London being 70 miles in a Southerly direction.
Soham is directly reached by road on the A142 from Ely, which meets the
A11 trunk road from London at Newmarket and the A14 from Ipswich through to
Cambridge to eventually join the A1 near Huntingdon and the M1/M6 at Crick.

The Railway Station is now closed to passenger traffic

this will change soon (See the History of Soham for more details about the Train Explosion in June 1944 which destroyed the Station and surrounding buildings).

North-West of Soham, and Ely connects to the Mainline from London to
Scotland.

for London and various provincial Towns and Cities.

other surrounding Villages.
