Neatly-kept gardens and colourful flowerbeds brighten the station buildings at Burgh-by-Sands, a small village near the mouth of the Eden on the Solway Firth. Burgh was also close to the western end of Hadrian's Wall, and the parish church of St Michael is built within a Roman fort.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandmother, Margaret Flint, was landlady of the Greyhound from sometime during WW2 until 1954. I lived there from 1944 until she retired. Being a publican meant grandmother was entitled to more than the normal rations in the immediate post war era since she was required to provide food to any traveller. Travellers were few and far between however one day George Bernard Shaw and companion appeared on the doorstep in the afternoon requiring tea so she had to fulfill her duty.
