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.

My mother, Joyce Hogg, whose grandparents were Egglestone of Culgaith, used to tell us that her relatives, two aunts, used to run the Bridge Inn at Kirkby Thore in the 30's, 40's or 50's. Unfortunately I do not know their names or surnames. Can anyone help me with my family history? Other family names are Tallentyre and Jennings, so this may be useful to anyone with possible information.
Thank you.

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

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?

Extracts From Great Strickland & Cumbria books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Great Strickland, inspired by Frith photos.
Here a group of visitors pause to admire the view from Purse Point across the lake towards Glenridding. Ullswater, or ‘Ulph’s-water’, takes its name from the Viking settler Lyulph, whose name was popularised in the 18th century when the Duke of Norfolk, then owner of Greystoke Castle, built the folly called Lyulph’s Tower on the north side of the lake.

Penruddock is a small village on the edge of the Lake District National Park, about five miles west of Penrith. Its name is thought to be Celtic in origin. The slightly raised location affords fine views of the Lake District hills to the west and south. The view is of the east end of the village, looking towards Saddleback. Modern buildings have since replaced some shown here.

About half a mile south of the village of Blencow is the house known as Ennim Bank. The name derives from ‘innam’, meaning a piece of land which was enclosed or taken in. It is thought to have been the original residence of the Blencow family before they moved to Blencow Hall. In the mid 19th century George Troutbeck greatly improved the mansion and ornamented it with ‘plantations’. More recently it was the home of Viscount William Whitelaw of Penrith until his death in 1999.
