"Mainscroft"
My father was headmaster, I think at St Cuthberts or St Patricks secondary school and we lived at" Mainscroft" in Cleator Moor. I remember going to school at St Mary's infants and have memories of fr Clayton and the grotto at the church. I remember the walk to school, the quarry pits and the doctors who lived opposite, one of whom drowned tragically at sea when we lived there. We moved to London in 1952 I think. I still have many memories of the streets, the surrounding mountains and the slate roofs of the houses and the stone steps.

RE: RE:
Does anybody have a picture of the Staint Begus Roman Catholic Chapel in Cleator? My family married there in 1869 and I would dearly love a picture as we are having a reunion in 3 weeks. This Chapel was before St. Mary's and was maybe used by the school. Any help would be awesome. Cheers from down under.
