| 説明 | Rhine Villa/Cambrai.Cambrai township is located in the Hundred of Angas (declared 1860) and was laid out as a town by Abel Skinner a German farmer in 1882. The pastoral land here, once leased by George Melrose of Rosebank, was surveyed into farms in 1866. Captain Abel Skinner had a two gable villa house hence the name for his town which was just north of the Rhine River (now the Marne). That house was later demolished and the site became the town oval. After the 1917 Nomenclature Act it was called Cambrai. The Battle of Cambrai in 1917 allowed the British to open up the German lines but not for long. The battle was a stalemate like so many World War One battles. A second Battle of Cambrai in 1918 was a victory for the allies. Even after the War the name of Cambrai was kept as the district was settled by both German and English background settlers. Cambrai prospered once Bagot Shakes and Lewis established livestock saleyards here in 1906 and the spur rail line was built from Monarto to Cambrai and Sedan in 1919. (The line closed to passengers in 1964 and the last grain train was in 1995.) Among the significant buildings in Rhine Villa were the following:the Institute built in 1891 on land donated by the local pastoral family of George Melrose from Rosebank near Mt Pleasant - it was replaced by a new Institute in 1913; the District Council Offices about 1885; the Cambrai Hotel built 1883 and modernised in 1920s; an early general store built 1882 – it closed in 1962 and latterly became a Red Cross Opportunity Shop; the Mickan foundry, wagon maker and blacksmith workshops – started 1886 and closed 1959 and demolished 10 years later – it employed around 20 men before World War One; the state school building which was erected in 1912 but a school was held elsewhere including the Institute since 1895; the Congregational Church was built in 1926 on land donated by the publican but the congregation used the Institute as a church from 1892 until then; a new Congregational church hall was erected in 1957 and a new Uniting church in 1981; St John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church was built in 1911( after the Lutheran congregation split) on land donated by Gottlob Laube. It closed in 1967 when it amalgamated with Hope Lutheran Church and the church was then purchased as a museum in 1971; Hope Lutheran Church (Hoffnungs Kirche) was built in 1904 after a group broke away from Rheinthal Lutheran Church outside of the town – Rheinthal Lutheran was built in 1876 – the Hope Lutheran became St John’s Lutheran upon amalgamation in 1967 whereupon a new lobby or nathrex was added in 1968 and it is the current Cambrai Lutheran Church. The Cambrai Agricultural Museum in the former Lutheran Church has some fascinating exhibits including a pioneer shepherd’s cottage built in the 1850s of George Melrose’ estate. |
