Lancashire memories
Garnetts
I am interested in Woodend Farm at Low Biggins, my husband's Garnett ancesters farmed there. They came from Wray, and there are still many descendents in the area. Any information or memory relating to the farm or the family would be useful. Many thanks, Chris

Cowan Bridge Smithy
To the left hand side of the A65 opposite the Village Shop stands the Smithy - this is significant to me as my grandfather Thomas Glover was the village Blacksmith until his retirement. The Smithy was demolished after he retired and my parents later had a bungalow built for themselves behind where it had originally stood. Their house opposite Bronte Cottages (Bronte Cottage) had been subject to compulsory purchase and demolition for the road widening and building of the new roadbridge in the 1960's.
Bronte Cottage
The house on the right of this photo was my home - Bronte Cottage. I have been told that it was once used as the coach house for the school and certainly I remember stone flagged floors to the largest room on the ground floor. To our great sadness the house was demolished in the early 1960s for the road improvements which took place at that time. I remember that I lived close to the old bridge end but this photo made me realise how close!
That Small Tin of Paint!
Just after my father brought Borwick Hall in 1946 I went with my mother to a shop and she brought a tin of paint. I was all of eight years old at the time and when we got back "home" I looked around and wondered just where she would start!
The Castle Stores
The Stores was run by the redoubtable Joe Holmes who was in fierce competition with Chris Lewin down the lane at the Post Office. In summer the price of local tomatoes reached bargain levels!

Yealand, A Beautiful Village
I lived in Yealand from 1947-52 when I came here to New Zealand with friends at the age of 17. Having little educaton and the war years I decided to come to New Zealand to farm.
I attended the Yealand school and then left to work for John Wilson on his farm. Those years are most memorable and I have fond memories of them. It is a beautifull village. I believe there are not so many farms operationable there these days. I also knew Saria Butler, mentioned in another person's memories, who lived at Manor farm. I knew the Grays at Old Hall who also came to New Zealand. I live and have farmed in the North Island of New Zealand where I met my wife and farmed at Rongotea.
