This was the street I was born on, although not in 1906! The house I was born in was number 110, which is the next house on the left - just off the photograph (although it wasn't built in 1906). Behind the terrace on the left was the Cooperative stables and bakery. By the time I was born in 1951 the... [more]

Carnforth Lodge Lancaster Road
As a child in the 1960’s and 70’s I went several times with my family to visit Mrs Esther Pomfret (Auntie Ettie to us; she was a relation of my father's) at Carnforth Lodge, Lancaster Road. I don't think this is shown in the photo.

Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham Pocket Album
Over Kellet is a village on the road from Carnforth to Arkholme. Here we see the two monuments in the village centre. The nearest is the old village cross, and the new white pillar beyond it, with the high railing round it, was at this time the newly-erected memorial to those who never returned from the Great War in 1914-18. Later... [more]

Quartered by a cross-roads, the spacious green contains two monuments. The nearer is a war memorial and the other is a massive stone cross, erected on the base of the original village cross.
