606. Kendal and Around from old photographs
£12.99
Norman Holloway
Kendal From Old Photographs offers an enchanting glimpse into this beautiful market town, located in the scenic Lake District. The town's roots can be traced back many centuries, however it was with the arrival of the Romans in the first century AD that the town really began to thrive. They constructed a wooden fort here located at present-day Watercrook, on a bend of the river Kent; with this came the emergence of trade links and the town began to grow. Six centuries after its Roman occupation, the Normans took up residence in the town. It is from this period in the town's history that the earliest indications of a name appear. It was known as Kirk Byre Ken Dale, which means 'Church Town in the Kent Dale'. . . . more

621. Native of Eskdale

Margaret Armstrong Elliot
This book is a wonderful tribute to the natives of Eskdale and their way of life remembered by one of their own. The author's memories of Eskdale relate to the 1930s through to the 1950s.
