John Tarver 1850 1932 Grayrigg Father Samuel
A Memory of Lambrigg Head.
My Gt Grandfather above was born in Grayrigg and worked for LNWR. He wrote pieces for The Westmorland Gazette on a variety of subjects.
I have found one of his pieces, in his papers and he writes - His station was on the side of a gyll which sloped sharply to where the brook at the bottom.....................along the stony, zig zag channels connecting its rocky basins and on to where it falls over a crag into the wood - till it comes to the cottages known of old as 'Lambrigg Fell Gate' once happy home of my forebears and of my childhood - now alas a cureless ruin.
This weekend I hope to try to find these cottage ruins.
