Dating and initialling buildings has been a local habit since the 17th century. This book attempts a complete collection of examples in the Old Hundred of Lonsdale South of the Sands, with a historical background to each one.

The Eden Valley and the North Pennines

W R Mitchell
£15.99

The north-south valley of the Eden is a broad fertile strip between Lakeland and the high moors of the Pennine uplift. The river rises at Mallerstang, where Wild Boar Fell forms a magnificent backdrop, and is noted for its run of salmon and for the trout fishing enjoyed in the upper reaches. In its course of 67 miles to the marshes of Solway Firth it passes two historic towns, Kirkby Stephen and Appleby, and the city of Carlisle, the entry point for Scottish raiders in a more turbulent past. Presiding over the northern Pennines is Alston, one of the highest market towns in the land.
