  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Cumbria & the Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 701 CUMBRIA & THE LAKE DISTRICT DISTRICT Cumbria & the Lake District If it’s grandstand views you’re looking for, nowhere in England can measure up to the dumbfounding drama of Cumbria and the Lake District. Wedged against the Scottish border, trammelled by the Yorkshire Dales and the grey rollers of the Irish Sea, it’s a place where the superlatives run dry – home to the nation’s longest and deepest lakes, as well as the smallest church, steepest road, highest town and loftiest peak in England. The great glaciers which carved out this landscape during the last ice age have long since melted, leaving behind a spectacular string of razor crags, scree-strewn fells and sparkling tarns that form the heart of one of England’s original national parks – the stunning Lake District, founded in 1951 and still the spiritual heartland of English hiking. With so much natural splendour on show, it’s hardly surprising that Cumbria and the Lake District is one of northern England’s busiest corners. Over 14 million visitors flock to the national park every year to explore its hilltop trails, literary landmarks and lakeside towns, and on summer weekends that cloudlike feeling can feel frustratingly elusive. But even on the busiest days it’s possible to find some solitude in the county’s lesser-known corners – the lush and little-visited Eden Valley, the seaside ports and wind-battered sands of the umbrian coast, or the bleakly beautiful moorland of eastern Cumbria. And if all else fails you can always take refuge in a solid old Lakeland inn for a pint of homebrewed ale and a hearty plate of tattie hotpot, Cumberland sausage or Herdwick lamb.

To date, seventy States Parties have responded to the letters sent following the review of the individual files, in order to clarify the original intention of their nominations (or to submit appropriate cartographic documentation) for two hundred fifty-three World Heritage properties. This document presents fifty-five boundary clarifications received from twenty-five States Parties, as an answer to the Retrospective Inventory. Draft Decision: 36 COM 8D, see Point IV I.

  • Honister Youth Hostels
    YHA (England and Wales) Youth Hostel Profile compiled by the Association’s volunteer archivist, John Martin, rev2020-01-01 Honister Youth Hostels Honister Hause Hostel [Barracks Building] 1942 to 1960 Honister Barracks, Seatoller, Keswick, Cumberland Historic County: Cumberland YHA Region: Lakeland GR: NY 225135 There have been green slate quarry workings at the wild isolated summit of the Honister Pass since Roman times. The site was developed in the mid-17th century, though accommodation for the workers was rudimentary at best. Greater mechanisation and better facilities for the quarrymen came in the late nineteenth-century, under the ownership of Buttermere Green Slate Quarries Ltd, as the demand for slate roofing expanded. In 1926 an old hut at Honister Hause, or summit, was demolished and replaced by new slate-roofed wooden barracks for thirty men. The barracks were vacated in 1941, as quarrying was not a protected occupation and workers became liable for conscription. A ready alternative for the building was soon found when YHA leased it from the quarry company. The youth hostel, one of YHA’s highest at over 1,150ft, opened early in 1942. An early miniature postcard of the 1926 quarrymen’s barracks at Honister Hause, when first converted to youth hostel use. This was the side of the building facing south, away from the Honister Pass. Large stocks of slate were piled up at what is now the boundary of the National Trust car park. The western end of the building was later extended with a masonry toilet block, the only part of the first hostel to be incorporated into the second.
