Tirril
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.

holidays
I came to Soulby for a holiday when I was 8 with my mother and sister. We stayed in a caravan the other side of this shallow river - by the local shop.
The caravan was owned by a local farmer who was either a family friend or distant relative.
A highlight of the holiday was visiting the farm and helping get the cows in for milking. We loved playing in the shallow river and enjoyed the novelty of the caravan - I remember my mother hired a radio for the week for entertainment!
We went to Appleby one day and my sister bought a silver ring in a second hand shop.
I wonder if its changed?

Langwathby Hall Farm
As a youngster of 12 I was evacuated from my home in Wallington near Croydon Surrey to Cumbria, where I attended Penrith Grammar School in 1940. I lived at Temple Sowerby at Riggside at the farm (Millrigg Farm) of my elderly cousin, Isaac Huntington. His elder brother was George Huntington a retired farmer of Langwathby Hall Farm. Those two brothers were sons of Joseph and Ann Huntington also of Langwathby Hall Farm. I spent many happy days in the company of both Isaac and George Huntington. My ancestry is from Cumbria dating back to the 12th century and in the 1990s I researched and published a book titled "The Solway Plainsmen" relating the history and quality of life for Cumbrians from ...read more here

Extracts From Eamont Bridge & Cumbria books
Taylforth’s Crown Hotel dates back to 1770
when it was built as a coaching inn. The
pony and trap seen here was a versatile
form of transport. The coming of the
motor car would soon congest the road at
its approach to the narrow bridge across
the river and traffic lights would eventually
control this busy crossing point.
An extract from from"Penrith Photographic Memories".
The old sandstone bridge over the river Eamont, rebuilt
in the 16th century, was a popular spot for leisurely
strolls from Penrith. The Eamont flows out of Ullswater
at Pooley Bridge and is joined by the Lowther at
Brougham, before meeting the Eden near Langwathby.

Just south of Penrith, Mayburgh Henge is a circular bank of earth and stones of about 1.5 acres, with one 10ft stone at the centre. It is thought to have been built between 1000BC–2000BC. There were four standing stones at the centre during the 19th century.
