Allithwaite, Kirkhead Tower c1965 (ref. A288003) | It is thought that the
first church in the
district, predating
Cartmel Priory,
would have been on
Kirkhead, giving the
hill its name. The
tower was erected as
a summerhouse; it
stands on private land
owned by the Holker Estates.

appearance. To the left is Wart Barrow Lane, whilst the road to the right is Green Lane, which
leads towards Boarbank Hall.

Cark In Cartmel, Station Road 1912 (ref. 64386) | We are looking from the
bridge by the railway. The
road is devoid of both
people and traffic – is it
early morning? The third
house from the right,
slightly lower than its
neighbours, is now the post
office. Otherwise, the scene
is little changed today.

Cark In Cartmel, Mill Close c1965 (ref. C27023) | Former mill workers'
houses, now
modernised, line the
beck. Low Row is to
the left, the lowest of
three similar rows;
Middle Row had been
demolished by the
time of the picture.
The bridge is one
of a number built
in the 19th century
– previously, Cark had
just one bridge over
the beck.

Cark In Cartmel, Post Office 1897 (ref. 40517) | The plate by the window
to the left of the door
(now a window) shows
that this was also the
telegraph office and
money order office,
and also the Post Office
Savings Bank. The middle
window has gifts and
photographs for sale. The
building, now a private
residence, is on the road
to Cartmel, and is nearly
opposite the former
Constabulary Station.

Cark In Cartmel, the Village 1912 (ref. 64385) | The board on the house on the left proclaims that the building belongs to W H Duckworth, cycle and motor engineer. He had
cycles for hire. Londis, the grocers, now occupies the area of bushes to its right. Boys are playing on the bridge over the beck.

Cartmel, the Church, Harrington Monument c1875 (ref. 7895) | The Priory Church of
St Mary and St Michael
was never elevated to
abbey status. The tower
has a unique formation:
the upper part is built
crosswise to the lower.
It is said that it is
theoretically unstable
architecturally, but it has
stood for 500 years.

shows guide books and postcards of Cartmel Priory

cuts, and a Scout Jamboree. Sun Maid Raisins were on
sale from the machine above the seat by Bay Tree Café
next to the shop.

Flookburgh, the Village 1912 (ref. 64391) | Someone, perhaps Mr
Gillam the grocer who
owned the shop (left), is
writing on the blackboard:
lard was 6½d, sugar 2½d
(one penny today) and
4d, with bacon at 8d, and
cheese 9d and 10d. Next
door, with the curved
front, is the now rebuilt
former Co-op.

erected on the site of an
ancient market cross.

1278; a second charter was
granted by Henry IV in 1412.
John Burrow is shown as the
licensee on the board on the
Hope and Anchor Inn (right).
A porch replaces the steps to
the entrance door today.

Flookburgh, Church of St John the Baptist 1901 (ref. 47056) | This church opened in 1900,
replacing St Mary's Church, which
formerly stood in the centre of
Flookburgh. There is no clock in
the tower at this date; the clock
was installed as a memorial
to those of the parish who fell
in the Second World War. A
representation of a Morecambe
Bay fluke, a fish, is on the weather vane.

Flookburgh, Market Street 1903 (ref. 50096) | The only traffic is
a cart parked by a
barn on the right
of the road, its
shafts up in the air
(right). To its left is
the Crown Hotel.
The shop on the
left was J Slater
& Sons, a tailor's
and draper's. The
only person on
the street is a girl
holding a baby by
the house opposite
the barn.
