Cumbria memories
The Flooding
Can anyone recall the flooding that occurred in the early 1930s? We have had flooding in recent years but we wondered if it were a regular happening?
Visit 2010
Had a very nice meal of Jacket potato in the Bee Hive Pub.

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.
Langwathby Hall Farm
As a youngster of 12 I was evacuated from my home in Wallington near Croydon Surrey to Cumbria, where I attended Penrith Grammar School in 1940. I lived at Temple Sowerby at Riggside at the farm (Millrigg Farm) of my elderly cousin, Isaac Huntington. His elder brother was George Huntington a retired farmer of Langwathby Hall Farm. Those two brothers were sons of Joseph and Ann Huntington also of Langwathby Hall Farm. I spent many happy days in the company of both Isaac and George Huntington. My ancestry is from Cumbria dating back to the 12th century and in the 1990s I researched and published a book titled "The Solway Plainsmen" relating the history and quality of life for Cumbrians from the 12th to the 20th centuries. It will shortly be available to download free on the internet on www.huntingtondouglas.net Having lived there I could never understand why my great grandfather had migrated to London, but economic factors must have dictated his decision.
