Cumbria memories
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
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.
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
Church Where Grandparents Married
My grandparents, William Delaney and Phoebe Heighton were married here. The Delaney family lived in Burton for several generations. I believe Phoebe worked for the Misses Wilson prior to her marriage. They moved to Australia a few years after their marriage. I visited from Australia in 1980s and was delighted to find charming little church intact and loved.
Warm Bread.
I lived in Burton with my parents Stan & Hilda Hailey in the bakers shop in the square from 1956. I can remember my dad making fresh bread & cakes with the smell wafting through the house. I played football for Burton Thistle and helped run the club with many great friends. I moved away when I got married and my parents moved after retiring from the bakers shop, but I know my Dad missed making the bread for the village, he had a passion for it.
Geoff Hailey
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!
