Memories of Cumbria
Dobson Ancestors
I don't know if this message is relevant to this website. My story is about my Dobson ancestors who lived in Selside, Cumbria for the first half of the 19th Century. My GrGrGrGrandparents lived in the same house in Selside from their marriage in 1800 to their deaths in the 1850s. Their house was called Low Jock Scar and over the years it changed its name to Cowholme before reverting back to the original name. I've learned that the original house was condemned in the 1970s and pulled down but now a B and B stands in the same spot with the original name. MyGrGrGrGanparents were Robert and Nanny Dobson and they had 9 children all born at Low Jock Scar. I looked up this website in the hope there was a photo of the original house or at least something about Selside. Thanks for reading this. Vera
Dr Manning's Yard.
My grandma used to live in the Cottage above the head of the Boy leaning on the wall. We use to love visiting and playing in the Yard. Great memories.
New Shambles - Michael Goodwin''s Shop
The boy in the hat is my grandfather, and the girl is his sister. The shop that they are standing outside belonged to their grandfather, a well travelled gentleman born in 1832. The view is remarkably unchanged in 2008!
John Tarver 1850-1932 Grayrigg - Father Samuel
My Gt Grandfather above was born in Grayrigg and worked for LNWR. He wrote pieces for The Westmorland Gazette on a variety of subjects.
I have found one of his pieces, in his papers and he writes - His station was on the side of a gyll which sloped sharply to where the brook at the bottom.....................along the stony, zig zag channels connecting its rocky basins and on to where it falls over a crag into the wood - till it comes to the cottages known of old as 'Lambrigg Fell Gate' once happy home of my forebears and of my childhood - now alas a cureless ruin.
This weekend I hope to try to find these cottage ruins.
Romantic Stroll With DD
Ahh, I rememeber it well, strolling down past the church towards home with DD, you see my wife was away and I couldn't help myself. 36 years of wedded bliss up in smoke. Little walks by the canal and kissing on the beach at Hest Bank. She was worth waiting for. The torment of the x ray department was too much. Now I know I am going to suffer (badly). You see messing with another man's wife is a very dangerous game especially when you have told him that you're innocent.
