Low Mills, Farndale

I remember staying at Low Mills with the Breckon family. When I first went there in about 1954/55 there was no electric and we went to bed by candle light.  The toilet was a "dry closet" up several steep steps and across the vegetable garden.  
My uncle who lived in  Carlisle was Amos Breckon, son of Amos and Hannah.
I will always remember with fondness my stays in Farndale and by the time the family left in about the early 60s electric had been installed, but I feel sure the toilet was still across the garden.
I would love to hear from anyone who knew the Breckon family.
