I was born in Maryport 1962 and left when i was 5 when the pit closed ( my nan grandad ( Frank and Ethel Cunningham) and mam ( Patricia ) moved away - and my uncle ( Michael ) and Aunty Margaret I actually lived at 11 Festival Crescent in the early 60s My Grandparents lived along Edinburgh Road ( number 60 something ) My Great Grandma ( Ma Cunnie ). Cunningham used to live at the top of back Brow Does anyone remember them ? I love Maryport and will watch all of these videos

I haven't seen the other videos but does the rock climber "Owd Sid" get a mention? In his earlier days Sid Thompson's (he's now the late Sid) proud boast was that he'd cycle all the way from Maryport to the Lakes to do a day's climbing in Borrowdale. I started climbing in1986 and Sid was something of a fixture at Shepherd's Crag in Borrowdale back then.

My family emigrated to the US 320 years ago from Cockermouth. I have traced Thomas Watson to Strawberry How, Cockermouth. I actually visited briefly in 2007 and took a picture of a sign that says Strawberry How. More recently, I have discovered there is a farm named Strawberry How farm further down the road to the east of what I believe was a school, turned housing complex. Can anyone confirm that this property (Strawberry How Farm) once belonged to the Watson family? Does anyone know the current owners? I would like to contact them and see what they know. I believe their last name might be Cook. Thanks.

Does this mean the end of allerdale planning department? If so, there will be circus somewhere that will benefit from a load of clowns 😁😁

My family has a history in Cockermouth and I’m interested in any historians willing to help me discover facts and stories related. I can give contact info if interested (tho not sure how - suggestions?)

Where's the fighting drunks ?

love this place

spot

Brilliant. How well dressed .

Now the train station is a bloody bus shelter.

You want to focus on housing developments instead of shopping. There no money in the town and a lot of young people with families are moving out because there’s no investment in housing for the past 30 years . That’s the problem, so I believe

I remember the fish and chips from there, auntie hanna used to get them and a pattie

good memories i had a meat round at watsons butchers late 60,s skinny lad peddling a bike full of meat to customers, was the fittest i have ever been

My nana used to tell me these stories it's really nice to hear them again years after her passing.

This is great...31/32 season or 37/38....does anyone know....🤔🤔

YA Divn't Jo that Marra !! 🤩😋

Wow,step back in time.

Amazing film, never thought I'd see anything from that track.

I recognised a Workmate of mine ! He hasn't changed a bit !😂😂😂

What is the point of building MORE Factory units on land if you can't fill the Existing ones already there .

Existence: 1928 - 1940 Chapman Circus was established by George Bruce Chapman (1885-1935) in 1928. George Chapman started as an animal dealer and exhibitor in c.1922 with a collection of animals probably purchased from the estate of animal dealer and naturalist John Hamlyn, who died in 1922. Not coming from a circus background Chapman worked with Fossett Circus to set up the business. In 1933 George Chapman presented a collection of animals at the Bellevue Gardens in Belfast, including two zebras, a pair of lions, a tiger, four Russian bears, one hyena, a few pelicans and a baby Asiatic elephant. In 1934 he became the co-founder of the Belfast Zoo with the Belfast Corporation. The zoo, also known as Bellevue Zoo, because it was built on the Bellevue site, was operated by George Chapman until his death on 15th March 1935. The Chapman business passed to George’s sister Ada Mary Chapman (1880-1965), who continued running Belfast Zoo and the Chapman Circus until 1940 when business was brought to a halt by the Second World War. Animals and equipment were put up for sale at auction and the animals that didn’t sale were moved to Ada’s property in Worcester.

I wonder if people looking at these old films recognises anyone , it must be nice to see a relative or friend.

Brilliant to see how the town was in those days and the vehicles that were used , that old car at 0:32 looked like his pride and joy .

It's great to see these films.

My mum would have been 3 then

Great work! And amazing proposals for new generation high streets in old towns ! Congratulations...

vog.fyi delightful

Oxygen theif

🤡

Speak up sunshine, cant hear you with that mask on

Bet he is fun to have a pint with

the council is just looking after there business friends thats all

Well done 👍 in keeping the TPO, we are delighted 😁

I wouldnt trust this lot with a pet rock.

It's hardly a riot now is it 😂 when people are frustrated they get annoyed when correct procedures are not followed ! So just do the right things ! They have no reply when challenged by councillor Stoddart.

Okay, so Cllr Stoddart and Wilkinson didn't attend the same finishing school as George Osborne and David Cameron, but they look like passionate Cumbrians to me, and they certainly aren't in it for the 160K a year (!) that Mr Seekings achieves following his Doncaster economics degree. You know, this council leader job sounds quite important - shouldn't everyone be able to vote on this as opposed to a random lockdown zoom meeting? Do the two councillors have a point? Could someone at the council please inform me on here if this is allowed. This is my first experience of a council meeting and I can't say I have a huge amount of faith in the process, nor am I confident that this system will work well when spending the huge windfalls Maryport and Workington have had recently.

Genuine question from someone trying to learn more about allerdale structure: how is the leader chosen / put forward? I thought there were lots more independent councillors than Conservative, though Tories have 1 more than Labout? How come a smaller group can suddenly say they're the leader? Simple answer appreciated. I do think all these people want the best for the area, and Zoom is a nightmare for a proper meeting. The two independent chaps clearly feel they are unable to get themselves heard.

Very unprofessional and disgraceful behaviour.

Complete utter shambles, they are all clowns and a laughing stock , what chance have we got with idiots like these running the council, it's better than Corrie.

As a resident of Allerdale I am absolutely appalled by the behaviours of some members of the Council during this meeting. They have lost all credibility in my eyes. Disgraceful - take a look at yourselves.

What an appalling display of arrogance, hostility, incivility and disrespect by some of these councillors. The voting public must be asking themselves whether they are fit and proper persons to hold such office, and I would think it is fair to guess that none of them promised such neanderthal behaviour in their pre-election appeals for votes. As a public sector employee in the UK I am well aware that if I behaved in such a way I would be out of the door so fast my feet would not touch the ground, and quite rightly. Why can elected members behave so appallingly and not face legal sanctions? People have been arrested for less. Well done to the council officers and the majority of the participating councillors who conducted themselves professionally and with dignity in such circumstances.

Some of them have a really unusual accent!

I Managed 10 mins ....that was enough..Then i come back for more lol..

Handforth! What a bunch of jokers. I feel sorry for the people of Allerdale. Is cllr Wilkinson on drugs? What an embarrassment

That did not inspire confidence
