Could any one tell me when Stoneleigh was built and what was it's
purpose.Was it a house or business premises?
I first remember it as the ARP headquarters during world war 2.

Many thanks to Downie for the photo of How Michael. I have lived in Workingto for the best part of my 83 years but can never ever remember seeing this
building. I clearly remember Chapel Bank farm and Irvings horse drawn
hearse and carriages

Cumberland Completed Lookups / How Michael
« on: Wednesday 07 November 07 15:04 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for information about a chapel once situated on the shore hills at Workington.
I read in a book that in 1929 this chapel still existed .No one seems to know anything about it.
Apparently it was visable to shipping in the Solway. It was named How Michael
