Cumberland / Re: Bardy Lane
« on: Tuesday 10 June 25 15:37 BST (UK) »
My apologies hanes teulu for overlooking your question – no excuse, just a sheer oversight. Sorry. The period is 1840’s, 50’s, 60;s. I didn’t know that Bardy lane dated back to 1774’s.
Thanks Alan for the helpful Street View hint and the pub article – very colourful picture of life there. And thank you Geoff for the map – it makes the layout very clear

My thanks to all who have supplied the wonderful information that has come in response to my request about Bardy Lane. I find the photos particularly helpful – as they say, “a picture paints a thousand words. The explanation about the numbering system brought some much needed clarity to the frustrating house numbers of Bardy lane. The information from everyone has helped to give me a much clearer picture of Bardy Lane, its life, its tenants and its various buildings. Slums or not, it seems to have been a colourful mix of life for those who lived there.
If I could beg your patience for 2 more short questions I would be grateful. Would I be right in assuming that the western side of Bardy Lane is the side that backs onto the cliffside? And, would the lower end of the Lane be the one nearest to the dock on West Strand?

Thank you rosie99, Comberton, Maddys52 and Alan for your very informative and in-depth replies.
Yes, rosie99, I had seen the post you mention but it seemed to be more about the various “steps” and the Town Mission than about the type of houses.
From the map I was directed to, the “plots” on Bardy Lane seem to have quite a good bit of land (I had imagined that they would be “back-to-backs”).
The article from the Whitehaven News is interesting. On reading the advert, one wouldn’t think they would be something like the properties Alan describes. Certainly doesn’t sound like a nice place to live and the thought of a bakery (as per the advert) situated in the conditions Alan describes is unimaginable.
Would No.15 Bardy Lane be near the "sink" Alan describes - would it be on the same side of the road? I am grateful for all your help in this.

Cumberland / 1841 Census

Would someone from the Isle of Man be classed as a "Foreigner" on the 1841 Census. The more I look this up on the internet the more confused I become.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Kirby with Brompton
« on: Monday 06 November 23 16:49 GMT (UK) »Thank you for responding. I had already come across the fact that Cleveland County only existed from the mid 1970's - 1990's. I can only assume they used an existing name. The burial record of 1758 definitely says Cleveland.
