Cumbria memories
Oxenholme Inn
My great-grandfather Tommy (Thomas Kendal) Cross owned the Oxenholme Inn in the late 1800s. He apparently lost it in a card game and eventually emigrated to the United States with his wife and several children. I'd love to see a picture of the inn from back then or hear any stories or recollections.
The Old Workhouse
I lived very happily in the centre portion of the old workhouse,but unfortunately my cat was killed by a neighbouring greyhound. So, I have happy and sad memories of Ackenthwaite
Dr Manning's Yard.
My grandma used to live in the Cottage above the head of the Boy leaning on the wall. We use to love visiting and playing in the Yard. Great memories.
New Shambles - Michael Goodwin''s Shop
The boy in the hat is my grandfather, and the girl is his sister. The shop that they are standing outside belonged to their grandfather, a well travelled gentleman born in 1832. The view is remarkably unchanged in 2008!
Kay/Key Moss Farm, Witherslack
My great-great-great-grandfather JOSEPH FLETCHER Esq lived at Kay Moss Farm (as it was called then), now known as Key Moss. He is buried along with 3 of his children who died young and 1 daughter Ellen at St Paul's church. he had 4 living children: John - corn miller/merchant(Liverpool) Nicholas Richard - mathematics instructor, Royal Naval College(London). Nicholas's son Reginald becomes Lord Winster of Witherslack (1942). Ellen - dies 1878 aged 33, unmarried, buried St Paul's, Witherslack Mary Ann - fancy goods shop, 19 King Street, Ulverston. Unmarried. My dad took his mother (Annie), granddaughter of John Fletcher, to visit the area, friends and family around 1955, as her happiest childhood memories were of her holidays spent at the farm, riding the pony and trap up and down the tracks. She also went to the farm where two family members still lived. Also the spa cottages, where at the time everyone knew who she was as they all came out to talk to her. Does anyone have any info or memories on this family anywhere? Or... Read more
Romantic Stroll With DD
Ahh, I rememeber it well, strolling down past the church towards home with DD, you see my wife was away and I couldn't help myself. 36 years of wedded bliss up in smoke. Little walks by the canal and kissing on the beach at Hest Bank. She was worth waiting for. The torment of the x ray department was too much. Now I know I am going to suffer (badly). You see messing with another man's wife is a very dangerous game especially when you have told him that you're innocent.
My Grandmother Owned The Brown Horse Inn Until 1922
My grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Carl Stronnel owned the Brown Horse Inn until 1922 when my grandmother and my mother emigrated to Canada. My grandmother had divorced prior to their departure. The present photo is very
similar to the one that hung on the wall of my grandmother's home, I believe the one she had had a horse in the sign which as I recall hung out front. My grandmother was a school teacher in the area, her maiden name was Margaret Atkinson. Her father Enoch Atkinson captained the ferry on Lake Windermere. While a member of the RCAF in 1957 I attempted to visit the Inn but it was closed while the owners were on holiday. Unfortunately I never did get back to see it but still hope one day soon, I hope.
