South Humberside memories
Greenside
I used to live in the house to the right of this photo [not shown] in the 1960s. It was a big river to a 9yr old and the fun my sisters and I used to have was in my mind a lot better than p/stations. It was a super village and I hope it still is. Best regards - Bill.

The Bridge Inn Brough
I was born in the Bridge Inn, Main Street, Brough, Westmorland, on December 6, 1927. My mother recalls the weather to have been very stormy with heavy falls of snow. My father, William Norman Stell, was the manager of the inn & the licencee was his mother, Elizabeth Ann Stell. My mother was Sarah Martha Stell & had two other sons, John Walter Stell & William Norman Stell ,aged 6 & 4, who went to the local school. My father was a talented pianist & also ran a band. We moved to Durham City in 1930 where my father & mother were stewards of the Conservative Club.
In both photographs the very substantial building on the left is clearly the Bridge ...read more here

Church where grandparents married
My grandparents, William Delaney and Phoebe Heighton were married here. The Delaney family lived in Burton for several generations. I believe Phoebe worked for the Misses Wilson prior to her marriage. They moved to Australia a few years after their marriage. I visited from Australia in 1980s and was delighted to find charming little church intact and loved.

Howgill Parish Church
Visited church and local area to see for myself where my ancesters lived over one hundred years ago. They were Robert Gibson and his son, also called Robert, both of them farmers. I first discovered Howgill and Sedbergh back in 2002 and was amazed by its beauty and peacefulness. This area has made a lasting impression on me that I shall never forget and I will always regard Howgill as my special place.
Extracts From Appleby & South Humberside books
The village nonconformist chapel is prominent on the right of this photograph of Frizington, a large former coal
mining village just inland from Whitehaven. Public street lighting was still by oil here until the early part of the
20th century.

The beautiful valley of Eskdale runs down from some of the highest ground in the Lake District to reach the sea
at Ravenglass. Eskdale Green, a stop on the popular Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge railway, is perhaps best
known for its Outward Bound Mountain School, housed in this former Victorian mansion.

Shoppers go about their business in this busy scene. Workington, on the mouth of the River Derwent, owes its
growth mainly to the coal and steel industries, but it has always been slightly overshadowed by the larger town of
Whitehaven to the south.

A couple of old villagers pass the time of day with a youngster in the West Cumbrian village of Gosforth. Gosforth
is best known for its outstanding collection of Anglo-Saxon and Danish sculpture at the parish church of St Mary,
the most famous of which is the intricately-carved 14ft high Gosforth Cross.

A group of residents wait patiently for the bus on the wide, rectangular Square. The Square is the natural focus of
this former iron-mining town on the western fringe of Ennerdale and the Lake District hills.
