It was a happy childhood, I was born in Etwall in 1954 and our council house in Windmill Road is still our family home. Some of my fondest memories are the simple pleasures of life as a young lad in the 1950/60s. Always keen to get home ...Read more

Summer Days

This photo brings back the - what seemed - endless summer days of the 50's and 60's when we would go with our togs and sandwiches (probably jam) in the care of an older friend and queue for tickets for the day. Our parents sometimes ...Read more

Its arches to north, south and east are very tall too, and of Decorated style.

St James's church is of medium size; it has Anglo-Saxon windows, and a Norman chancel arch, arcades and font.

The semi-circular arch has gone from what is now the car park entrance, and the rather fine pub sign has also disappeared.

Screened from the road by rhododendrons, the Monks' Pond creates a very dramatic appearance as it reflects the priory arch - a frequent inspiration over the years for artists and photographers,

Caption For Barrow In Furness, St James Church 1895
