FOUNTAIN HOUSE £930,000 8 Beck Head, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2AY An impressive landmark townhouse. Situated in a central position in this sought-after Lune Valley market town, a handsome and substantial town house with the rear portion predating 1715 and the Georgian frontage being built in 1830. Grade II Listed, the property is bursting with character and original features and offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. All important within the town, there’s a private walled garden which includes space to park. www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to FOUNTAIN HOUSE £930,000 8 Beck Head, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2AY Situated in a prominent and central position, a statuesque Grade II Listed townhouse which dates back to pre 1715 with the Georgian frontage added later in 1830. The property has an interesting past - originally the principal inn within the town and having a thatched roof, it stood on the street which was the meeting place for local farmers. Later sold to William Carus Wilson (1791 – 1859) who in 1823 established the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge (made famous by the Bronte Sisters), the front of the inn was knocked down and rebuilt as a private dwelling, known as Beck Head House. In 1934, the house became a nursing home run by Mrs Wilson, the wife of Jonty Wilson, the Fairbank Blacksmith and took on the current name, Fountain House. The current owners bought it in 1989 and Fountain House has served them well as a family house, at one time with three generations. Whilst in good order, the modern generation of buyers will inevitably be looking to undertake cosmetic refreshments and put their stamp on the house. Offering well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings over three floors, the house has abundant character and original features such as tiled floors, sash windows with working shutters, decorative plasterwork, cornice, picture rails, the most striking Westmorland window, leaded mullion window and an original elegant staircase. The walled garden is big enough to provide an enclosed and private space for children and pets and is great for outside entertaining. In all, a splendid family house in an incredibly accessible location in the centre of town.

BROUGHTON WEST PARISH COUNCIL: No comments received. The consultation period for comments expired on 12 July 2005. CUMBRIA HIGHWAYS: To be reported. ENVIRONMENT AGENCY: Conditional no objections. COUNTY ARCHAEOLOGIST: No comments. HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Planning permission was granted to convert this barn to form two dwellings in 1990. Planning permission was granted for the siting of a static caravan to house an agricultural worker in February under delegated powers. This permission was limited to a temporary 12-month period. DESCRIPTION & PROPOSAL: Planning permission is now sought to convert an existing stone barn to house the applicant who currently occupies the static caravan that was approved in February. The proposed conversion involves the installation of a number of new openings on the rear and gable elevations. It is also proposed to raise the rear wall by one metre to allow a new pitched slate roof to be incorporated into the scheme. The resultant dwelling will comprise two bedrooms at first floor level and a lounge and kitchen on the ground floor. Page 1 of 55 A structural survey has been submitted with the application which confirms that the majority of the walls are in a reasonable condition although a bulge on the front elevation will require removal and rebuilding.

    Some Initial Thoughts on Sediment Dynamics in the Active Phreatic Conduits of the Yorkshire Dales, UK

    CAVE AND KARST SCIENCE, Vol.40, No.1, 2013 © British Cave Research Association 2013 Transactions of the British Cave Research Association ISSN 1356-191X Some initial thoughts on sediment dynamics in the active phreatic conduits of the Yorkshire Dales, UK. Phillip J MURPHY 1 and John N CORDINGLEY 2 1 School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK. 2 Ingleborough Cave, Clapham, NorthYorkshire, LA2 8EE, UK. Abstract: Observations by cave divers of the nature and contexts of clastic sedimentary deposits in Yorkshire Dales caves, especially those within water-filled phreatic conduits, are gradually being collected and interpreted. Insights into the age, history, relationships and dynamics of the clastic materials are emerging alongside more obvious basic data such as sediment grain size, clast lithology and possible clast provenance. Potentially these and other aspects have wider relevance to other karst issues, including studies of palaeo-hydrology and sequences of conduit development; they can also provide pointers to the whereabouts and possible significance of currently unknown cave passages. Received: 09 January 2013; Accepted: 25 February 2013. The study of active sedimentary processes in the phreatic zone of karst Much of the following Report stems from direct observations by the aquifers is in its infancy. Most of the historical literature describing authors, and from discussions with, and observations by, cave diving attempts to understand phreatic zone processes has relied to a great colleagues. Caving clubs have a long history of recording their exploits extent upon studies of drained conduits. This situation was summarized in club journals. Some of these have irregular publication dates and neatly by Lauritzen et al.
