Lorton & Derwent Fells Local History Society
Newsletter No 33 - September 2004 Lorton & Derwent Fells Local History Society Brackenthwaite Buttermere Embleton Loweswater Mockerkin Pardshaw Wythop www.derwentfells.com This somewhat faded photo of the Lorton yew came from Ted Petty, but we don’t know who the people are, what the occasion was and when it was! Can anyone help please? 2 Editorial A few weeks after this Newsletter is out, the book Wordsworth and the famous Lorton yew tree should be published. This is a book about the tree itself and the Wordsworth connection comes in because it will be 200 years ago in September that William and his sister Dorothy visited the tree which led to the famous poem. The editors of the book are Derek Denman and Michael Baron and Michael has carried out a lot of research into the Wordsworth side of the story, helped by the Wordsworth Trust in Grasmere. Derek has investigated the history of the tree - following up on Ron George’s previous work - and, at the recent AGM in June, they both gave a presentation of some of their findings. Michael suggested to me that the results of his research could be printed in the Newsletter and, now that my arm has recovered, I’m pleased to say that the first part starts in this issue, written in Michael’s entertaining and personal style. And so we say farewell (do you remember those James A Fitzpatrick [was it?] travelogues at the cinema?) to Mockerkin School, or rather I should say that we have the last part of Walter Head’s article on the school, along with a very sad picture of the old school building as it is today. -

Cumbria Classified Roads
Cumbria Classified (A,B & C) Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.
