Cadets from the Appleby ATC squadron at their awards night 25 years ago.

25 years ago — 1997

Appleby

Author Roger Collinson, who originally trained for the ministry on leaving university, has been relicensed and appointed as a non-stipendiary in Appleby and Ormside.

Mr. Collinson, of Caesar’s View, Appleby, was born in London in 1936.

He was ordained as a deacon in Liverpool before taking up a teaching career which took him to many places.

He has had a number of children’s books published, including Get Lavinia Goodbody, which has been translated into Spanish, German, French and Dutch.

Alston

His many friends heard with regret of the death of Kenneth Embleton, Low House Bungalow, Leadgate, at the age of 71.

His many interests were such that he became well known over a wide area.

He worked for 34 years as a gamekeeper for Cornish Torbock, of Crossrigg Hall, Cliburn, before retiring in 1992.

He completed 25 years of service as a special constable and was also a long-satnding member of Alston Moor Golf Club, where he served as chairman of the committee and was also a past captain.

Bampton

Fell pony enthusiasts across Europe were saddened to learn of the death of veteran breeder Sarge Noble, of High House, Butterwick, near Bampton, at the age of 73.

Mr. Noble looked after the oldest established herd of this unique Lakeland breed from the 1930s until advancing years persuaded him to disperse the Heltondale stud in 1995.

He was one of a handful of breeders who kept faith with Fell ponies during the 1950s and 60s, a period in which the breed almost died out.

Penrith

Penrith-area residents registered their support for the proposed Hills of the North visitor centre at Slapestones when the plans went on display in the town’s library.

More than 400 people signed a visitors’ book and their comments indicated that a ratio of five people to one were in favour of the proposals.

People try to keep in step at a charity line dance at Ullswater Community College, Penrith, organised in 1997 by students Sharon Pochec and Kim Watson.

50 years ago — 1972

Keswick

The band will play “Auld Lang Syne” as the last passenger train to travel on the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith railway pulls out of Penrith station tonight on what will be largely a sentimental journey for some 450 passengers.

Keswick and Penrith Round Tables have joined forces to make the occasion one to remember and, though tickets are £1 apiece for the 36-mile trip from Penrith to Keswick and back, most of the 480 seats are expected to be occupied.

Alston

Alston area’s new representative on Cumberland County Council is Miss Dorothy Elizabeth Dixon, Sandhill, who gained 337 votes in an election on Thursday week.

Miss Dixon, former deputy head of Samuel King’s School, and Mr. Dennis Langhorne, Moorwell, pharmaceutical chemist, were the only candidates to fill the seat vacated by Mr. William G. Ball, who retired on health grounds.

Penrith

Achieving a second victory over Whitehaven at Winters Park, by 13-3, Penrith showed that they should be a force to be reckoned with in the forthcoming Cumberland Cup, as this was their third “double” over a Cumbrian side.

The victory was doubly pleasing for teenage winger Ian Davidson, who returned to kicking form with three penalties.

He has now scored over one hundred points this season and is thought to be the first member of the senior squad to top the century mark for many years.

Penrith Urban Council has budgeted for a net expenditure of £200,788 in the coming financial year, an increase of £34,000 on the latest estimate of what will have been spent in the year ending this month.

Costs of the swimming baths, shortly to be opened, are expected to rise from £3,940 to £15,000, of which £8,000 is for wages, insurance, superannuation, etc.

Maulds Meaburn

The sale at Penrith of the contents of Flass, Maulds Meaburn, conducted by Thornborrow and Co. on the direction of Sir Robert A. W. Dent, attracted the biggest number of members of the antiques trade seen at a Penrith sale.

The sale was conducted by Messrs F. W. Davidson and W. P. Alexander.

The highest price was £500 for Carriage Clock in a bronze case.

Children from Tebay School who did an aerobics session 25 years ago to raise money for charity.

100 years ago — 1922

Glassonby

The Y.M.C.A. are to provide Mrs. Beatham, Glassonby, and her daughter-in-law with a free passage to France to visit the graves of her four sons lost in the war, one of them winning the V.C.

Patterdale

The meeting of Patterdale Women’s Institute was held in the Parish Hall where Miss Eva Hasell gave a lecture on her experiences during a 6,000-miles tour in Canada. Miss Healy thanked Miss Hasell and Mr. Marshall who worked the lantern.

150 years ago — 1872

Great Strickland

West Ward Guardians have been offered four sites for the new workhouse, the latest, a two-acre field at Lawyers Pasture, Great Strickland, offered by Mr. Cant, solicitor, at £150 an acre.

The Guardians have already been offered sites at Melkinthorpe, Morland and Clifton.
