Great Place To Grow Up

A Memory of Maryport.

My dad, Adam Pagan, was a great dad who loved his town and told me loads of Maryport history about links with the mutiny on the bounty. I loved going on the shore and the fair coming. When I was young I lived in Kirkby St, then we moved to Edinbourgh Rd, Ewanrigg. I remember going on on the shore in the summer, I remember Harold Brown's chip shop with scraps. My school was Camp Rd Junior then Solway House. Palace ballroom, Bata shoe shop, Hornflower jam factory, good old Maryport. I've lived in Lancahire since 1969 but love to come back. I wish they still had the carnivals.
