More about this scene

Coping stones now surround the edge of the lake, and the arch of roses that spanned Picklefoot Spring at the point where it emerges has been constructed. The shelter behind was constructed around 1900. Beyond, we can see Yewbarrow Lodge looking out over the tops of the trees and the park and over to Morecambe Bay beyond.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Is that Yewbarrow Lodge (the original one) in the background? Hit by incendiary bombs in 1941, and burnt badly. We used to play in the remains as children - Sadly SLDC didn't rebuild as per Colonel Porritt's wishes, and now although serving a great purpose as a nursing home, is a ghastly eyesore.
