Memories of Cumbria
Holidays
I came to Soulby for a holiday when I was 8 with my mother and sister. We stayed in a caravan the other side of this shallow river - by the local shop.
The caravan was owned by a local farmer who was either a family friend or distant relative.
A highlight of the holiday was visiting the farm and helping get the cows in for milking. We loved playing in the shallow river and enjoyed the novelty of the caravan - I remember my mother hired a radio for the week for entertainment!
We went to Appleby one day and my sister bought a silver ring in a second hand shop.
I wonder if its changed?
Many Happy Holidays
My granparents and uncle live in soulby, I have many happy memories of spending my school holidays at Row End farm helping with hay time, milking and feeding the cows. I still love visiting soulby going to the stepping stones and a wander round the village
Peaceful Village
I drove through this lovely little village during my stay in 2010.
Millers at Penruddock
The Robinson family had a long connection with Penruddock and the Neighbouring village of Motherby. My third gt grandfather, William Robinson was miller at Hutton Mill from about 1810 before moving to Greystoke Mill, and was succeeded by his son John, who continued to mill and farm there until about 1890.
I remember Penruddock from around 1952 to the present day - what is now the Herdwick Inn used to be the Norfolk Arms, and was run by the Porteous family.
The Porter family were farmers and one (Mary Ann) married the John Robinson mentioned above. They had 6 children - my gt grandmother Zerinah married Charles Sumner, and eventually moved back to Attorneygarth in Motherby.
Tirril
My name is Sandra and I am the little girl on the right of the picture. I lived at the Post Office with my grandparents, Mr & Mrs Robinson and I have very fond memories of growing up in the village. The bigger girl with me was Ann Tatters who used to take me to school at Yanwath.
