More about this scene

Here we can see the huge size of the magnificent stained glass window above the high altar. Made in the 13th century, it is larger than a tennis court. Releading of the window was begun when it was removed during the second world war for safety; the mammoth task took ten years to complete.

Mucking About On The River

In the early & mid 50's as a lad I spent my weekends working in the boatyard by the bridge. As you look at the picture it was downstream of Kendal bridge on the left. Access was through the arch on this side of the bridge. A selection of rowboats & a motorboat river cruiser that did afternoon runs to Bishopthorpe Palace. A start to a life of over 40 years at sea or involved in the maritime world that included over 22 years in the maritime branch of the Army. Oh happy days.
