Cumbria Within Living Memory


£9.99

Between 1900 and 1960 the pattern of everyday life, and particularly country life, altered almost beyond recognition. At the turn of the century transport was mostly horse-drawn; water came from a well; and lamps were used after dark. By the 1960s most families had cars, bathrooms and electricity. Cumbria, with its rugged, rural landscape saw great change during this period with the decline of the mines and shipyards and the rise of tourism.
