I went to Burton school from 1951 till 1954 and enjoyed evry minute of it, the head master was called Mr Watson I remember.

The good things about Burton

Burton is a really peaceful place. It's covered in hills and forests and has a really good community. It has a church, a shop, a community centre and a school. I lived in number 8 Low Street for about 8 years and loved every day. In the winter it was beautiful with the fields white with snow, and the walk through the park is really nice. It is ten minutes away from Kirkby Lonsdale and about 45 away from Lancaster. It is a beautiful village, peaceful and lively and I recommend it to everyone.

Parochial School

I have fond memories of walking from High Bentham to my primary school - Low Bentham Church of England Parochial School. Teacher Miss Robinson, pupils, Eva Clay, Carol Hinds, Joyce Thornber, snow in the playground, piles of coke, hallway with rows of coats, Junket !!

Born in Bentham - 1942

I was born in the High Street, just next to the existing Spar shop, which used to be Tustin's garage and also the Fire Station. My late grandfather, Bert Slinger, was a builder who lived on the premises which is now the Chinese takeaway for many years.
I still have quite a few relatives living in High Bentham.
