I worked at the Grange Hotel from 1983 until 1986. I lived in Grange for another six years at The Cottage, Graythwaite Manor. I left Grange in 1992 with my family when we moved to Australia. Enjoyed seeing the old photos of Grange, especially the one of the Grange Hotel.

My grandad convalesced here, James Taylor. He died in 1976. I hope to take my mum to see the place this year. I have 3 postcards of the place, one of the statue, the bowling green and the entrance drive.

Cumbria memories
I have lived in the pretty village of Cartmel all my life and I love the quiet, calming atmosphere we have here.

My aunt and uncle went to live in Flookburgh in the early 1950s. My mum, brother and myself went to stay with them on holiday. I can't remember where we got the coach to but my uncle laughed when we got off the coach with paper carrier bags with our clothes in (no suitcases for us in those days). The road... [more]

The Whitewater Hotel at Backbarrow, near Newby Bridge
I stayed in Backbarrow for several days at the Whitewater Hotel which has been converted from a former mill building by the river. The lobby of this lovely "spa hotel" has display cabinets of memorabilia from its industrial heyday in the last century which was interesting and I recommend a visit.
My wife Elizabeth and I used this... [more]

Grange-over-Sands Photographic Memories
In the centre a horse and cart stand by the pond; perhaps they have visited this spot so that the animal could have a drink of fresh water at Picklefoot Spring, which emerges here. This spring has a constant flow of water and a reputation for never running dry, even in times of severe drought.

Lancashire - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
Until the railway arrived, only 35 years before this photograph was taken, Grange-over-Sands was little more than a fishing village, looking out across the Kent estuary to the rest of Lancashire. No longer reliant on a hazardous route across the sands, the town quickly grew, catering for the well-to-do, who came here to live or take their holidays.

There is no traffic on Main Street, which at this time had a problem caused by a dog-leg in the road by the tree visible in the centre background. Note all the blinds outside the shops on the left. The sign outside the shop on the right shows that they were the agent for Pullars, the dyers.
