Pendle Fellsman
60007 Sir Nigel Gresley approaching what was Rimington Station with the Chester to Carlisle Fellsman excursion. Seen from Swanside Bank with Pendle Hill as a partial backdrop. Not quite where I planned to be due to traffic delays on the way up to Downham. But sunshine and steam and a decent walk to follow so not too bad at all 🙂

The Judge's Lodgings in Lancaster
The Judge's Lodgings in Lancaster, the city's oldest town house.
Nestled below Lancaster Castle, the Judges' Lodgings dates back nearly 400 years on a site that has been at the centre of Lancaster's history for nearly 2000 years. The current house was built around 1625 by Thomas Covell, Keeper of the Castle and famous for locking up the Pendle Witches during the infamous Lancashire Witch Trials.
From 1826 the house became a lodgings for the travelling 'Red Judges' of the Assizes Courts. Dressed in their scarlet robes, the Judges decided the fate of murderers, forgers and highwaymen at Lancaster Castle. Today the house is home to beautiful Georgian furniture by Gillows of Lancaster, elegant period rooms and the popular Museum of Childhood.

Almost 75 years ago….
My Dad was boxing professionally
His name wasn’t really Jack, it was Marshall, he boxed under the name Jack for some reason.
He boxed for his regiment in the army, and when he came out he continued boxing for a while .
I’ve been going through some things today, and I came across this that I haven’t seen for a number of years
Yesterday me and my three sisters met up with our Australian cousins, we’ve not met before. Their dad and my dad were brothers. They left the U.K. around 1964 / 65, under that £10 POME thing.
We had a great time walking around Barrowford (the village we come from), then going for lunch.
We plan to walk up Pendle hill later this month, before they head back to Australia.
So I was looking for some old family photos for them.
My Dad passed in 2019, his brother Jim passed in 2017.
