    Interviews with Walter Benson & Brian Greaves Interviewees : Walter J Benson, born 1922 (‘WB’), and Brian Greaves, born 27 April 1924 (‘BG’) Interviewer : Barbara Copeland (‘BC’) Location : Somewhere near Grange/Flookburgh/Cark we think Date : October 1992 Recording duration : 92 mins 22 secs (total of 4 tracks) Transcriber: Peter Roden, then checked/updated by Michael Redman and Jenn Mattinson Introduction These interviews were originally recorded in 4 stages on a cassette. The digitised audio files have not been consolidated, and the timing notes in this transcript are for each track separately. The sequence of the tracks is as follows. Track 1 (25 mins 45 secs) is an interview with Brian Greaves whilst waiting for Walter Benson to arrive. Walter brought a copy of a short radio recording in which he featured, and this is track 2 (7 mins 14 secs). There then followed a joint interview which starts as track 3 (12 mins 44 secs) until side one of the cassette ran out, and continues as track 4 (46 mins 41 secs) until the second side of the cassette ran out. Please note – there’s a lot of surnames and shop names/place names Track 1 BC So what age were you when you started ? [BG : 16] 16. So were you at school ‘till you were 16 ?

  • Space for Exploration Morecambe Bay Is the Perfect Place for Exploration and Discovery
    MORECAMBE BAY SENSE OF PLACE . TOOLKIT Space for Exploration Morecambe Bay is the perfect place for exploration and discovery. It is also covered with a network of historic routes and journeys that are still made today. Perhaps our most famous route is across the sands and the Cross Bay walk. Locals here have a sense of adventure, here are some of our most adventurous characters: • Sir John Barrow left Ulverston for the Antarctic and discovered a passage he named the Barrow Straits. • John Wilkinson from Lindale sailed the first iron boat on the River Winster. It allegedly sank but he went on to become a very famous ironworker. • Cedric Robinson lives at Guide’s Farm near Kents Bank and is Queen’s Guide to the sands, and has led thousands of people over the sands on cross bay walks using his skills to read the sands. The area is perfect for exploring without a car, thanks to the quiet lanes for cycling, extensive footpaths for walking and breath-taking train journeys. Help your visitors to get out there: • Promote walking, cycling, rockclimbing, sailing and horse riding. Read the following pages for more information. • Make it easy for visitors to leave their car behind. • Provide up-to-date weather and tide information. • Provide facilities that they might need such as packed lunches and bike locks. • Find out what is on your doorstep with the Morecambe Bay: Nature on your Doorstep Guides and other guides from the local tourist information centres. • Highlight safety issues, especially not to walk across the sands without a guide and that tides can be fast moving.

  • Cark Manor ; a House of Many Names
    Cark Manor ; a house of many names. Cark Manor as it is known today lies on the road leaving Cark in Cartmel towards Holker Hall. The road from the lower part of Cark to Holker did not pass by the west end of the cottages at High Row, according to Stockdale1, until about the year 1815. Prior to 1815, the road went from Cark House through what is today a lower gateway into the Cark Manor estate and went up the hill and through where the Cark Manor coach house and stable-yards are at present. Whether Stockdale owned this land and a sale was made to the first owner of Cark Manor, James Newby which then prompted the relocation of the Holker road, is not apparent at present. Cark Manor was built for a plantation owner of the name of James Newby, who not only had a sugar plantation with 5 slaves2 in the parish of St. Ann, Jamaica but held many offices there and rose to the rank of Major to become the Superintendent of the Artillery in the County of Middlesex, Jamaica. He resided at Rio Nova Bay3, in the Parish of St. Ann. On his death, as recorded in the Lancaster Gazette of January, 30th. 1869, his final residence was St. Anne's Cottage, Cark, Cartmel and that he was formerly of St.Anne's Plantation, Jamaica. James Newby was one of several sons of a local yeoman from Barber Green in the parish of Upper Allithwaite. As was the case with many young men of prosperous farmers, because of the Act of Settlement of 1688, the English practice of primogeniture ( whereby land and its income was 1 Stockdale, J.
