Cumbria memories
Visited church and local area to see for myself where my ancesters lived over one hundred years ago. They were Robert Gibson and his son, also called Robert, both of them farmers. I first discovered Howgill and Sedbergh back in 2002 and was amazed by its beauty and peacefulness. This area has made a lasting impression on me that I shall... [more]

I used to live in the house to the right of this photo [not shown] in the 1960s. It was a big river to a 9yr old and the fun my sisters and I used to have was in my mind a lot better than p/stations. It was a super village and I hope it still is. Best regards - Bill.... [more]

New Shambles - Michael Goodwin''s shop
The boy in the hat is my grandfather, and the girl is his sister. The shop that they are standing outside belonged to their grandfather, a well travelled gentleman born in 1832. The view is remarkably unchanged in 2008!

My grandma used to live in the Cottage above the head of the Boy leaning on the wall. We use to love visiting and playing in the Yard. Great memories.

Church where grandparents married
My grandparents, William Delaney and Phoebe Heighton were married here. The Delaney family lived in Burton for several generations. I believe Phoebe worked for the Misses Wilson prior to her marriage. They moved to Australia a few years after their marriage. I visited from Australia in 1980s and was delighted to find charming little church intact and loved.

Their names were Margaret and Cecil Stronnel. They had a daughter Irene Margaret Stronnel. My mother told me about their Manx cats that had no tails. Sha also told me that... [more]

My grandmother owned The Brown Horse Inn until 1922
My grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Carl Stronnel owned the Brown Horse Inn until 1922 when my grandmother and my mother emigrated to Canada. My grandmother had divorced prior to their departure. The present photo is very
similar to the one that hung on the wall of my grandmother's home, I believe the one she had had a horse in the... [more]

Extracts From Sedbergh & Cumbria books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Sedbergh, inspired by Frith photos.
Here the Market Place has a fair number of local people and tradesmen curiously watching the cameraman's antics in the middle of the street. On the left is the 1858 Market Hall, with a milk carter's wagon outside, complete with milk churn. The shop on the right is insured with the West of England Fire and Life Insurance Company.

Sedbergh is a pleasant little market town on the southern edge of the lovely Howgill Fells. Two men converse outside a hardware store on the left, while the Bull Hotel, seen in photograph No 46914, can be seen at the far end of the street.

The bold black-and-white half-timbering of G Sedgwick's draper and outfitters shop in the centre of the picture (the owners are proudly standing outside) is in marked contrast to the same shop which can be seen sticking out into the street in photograph No 34078. On the left, a coach and handcart are unceremoniously parked on the corner of Finkle Street.
