Every year there would be a game played in the river in the village using the bridges as goal posts and is, as far as I am aware still played today. It would be around 1955 that my late father, Frederick ...Read more

Home Base

This pic was taken from Tunnel Terrace looking over the old iron bridge coming from The Tunnel Hotel. The building closest after the slag heap is the old Police station with the Bandroom next door to it. My Grandmother and Grandfather Loveday lived in number 5 Tunnel Tce. Sadly no longer there.

The Dingle

I lived in Colwyn Bay as a child and have fond memories of The Dingle. It seemed like a magical place to a young child. Over the brook, which runs through The Dingle, there was a little bridge which led to a fortune teller's ...Read more

The Village Policeman

My father was the village policeman in the late 30s. My first memories was the police house next door to the garage, and the sweet shop with a lot of steps, (is it still there) the bridge sticks in my mind. The time dad ...Read more

Beyond the tithing of Barton and after crossing water meadows, we come to the pretty village of Bishopstoke.

Forming a picturesque scene near Askham, the bridge arches over the River Lowther whose waters have their origin in the north-east Lakeland fells above Shap.

The earliest tourists to the Lake District were overwhelmed by the 'horrid' and 'frightful' nature of the mountains and crags, which frowned down on them as they negotiated the passes.
