Main Street 1921
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The gentleman with the scythe over his shoulder was my grandfather. His name was Joseph Jackson, born in 1849 at Bootle in Cumberland. He spent most of his life as a tenant farmer, first at Canleton Farm near Egremont also in Cumberland. He then moved to Lane Ends Farm at Haverthwaite in what was then Lancashire owing to subsidence of the land due to iron ore mining from the nearby Florence Mine. He retired from farming in 1919 to Penny Bridge where he spent the rest of his life.

RE: RE: Family Connections.

My grandfather Robert Jefferson was born 1846 in the village of Penny Bridge. I know very little of the village or anything about my grandfather except that he moved to Barrow and married and lived at Rampside until his death in the late 1880s. I would like to learn more about this village.
