More about this scene

Eccle Riggs Hall was built for Lord Cross in 1865. It remained in use as a private house until about 1959, from when it served as an hotel for about forty years. Today, it is a private property once again, and is now occupied by a publishing company. In its earlier life, the front of the building was covered in ivy with little more than the windows to be seen.

My grand father Robert Newboult was pharmacist at Broughton in Furness at Station Road. He had two children Charles and Eileen. Charles was my father. Robert is buried in the churchyard but had no headstone.
