£20.00
Rosemary Blackett-Ord
FOR over 60 years Jim and Rosemary Blackett-Ord lived at Helbeck Hall, Westmorland.

Inside chickens were running on the ground floor, wallpaper was hanging off the the walls, rain had come in nearly everywhere and the downstairs was painted dark brown and ‘battleship’ grey.

Comprising the historic counties of Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire-North-of-the-Sands, the Romantic landscape of the Lake Poets has also yielded iron, coins, slate for the roofs and millions of bobbins to drive the mills of the Industrial Revolution. . . . more
