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.

Extracts From Langwathby & Cumbria books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Langwathby, inspired by Frith photos.
The bottom green, seen here, was at one time a pond where ducks and geese would wander freely. It was said to have been drained in 1841 by a Mr George Brown. In the centre is Clyde House, once the post office, which along with the village store is now to be found in the converted sandstone barn on the left.

In the centre of this spacious village is the War Memorial, standing on the edge of the village green. It was officially 'unveiled' in 1920. The Shepherd's Inn to the right is little changed today, though its car park has been extended to cater for the increase in motor traffic.

Looking down the hill from above the station, we see the bridge carrying the Settle- Carlisle railway line running along the edge of the village. Opened in 1874 the line was much used for sending timber from Edenhall Woods, as well as local dairy produce and potatoes. The old station now houses a tearoom.
