St Helen's Street, Cockermouth
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 14:43 BST (UK) »
I know this is a really cheeky request, but is there any kind person in Cockermouth who could find the time to email me a digi photo of No. 87 St Helen's Street, Cockermouth [assuming it is still there] please? I live in Lincolnshire, so it isn't very easy for me to do myself.

It was the home of my mother-in law's father, who was born there in 1870, & I would love to be able to include a picture of the house in my research notes for her. She will be 89 next Feb & would be so pleased to see the house where his family lived.

Thank you in anticipation, Sue

You tried Google-earth? Ya can walk down the street  ;D

Click here for 87 St Helen's Street, Cockermouth

If your not happy with that why not write a nice letter to the occupant and ask if they would be so kind as to take a photo for you ?

Thank you for your reply. I think it confirms the house I think it is. I did have a look for it via Rightmove & then Google streetview, but it doesn't have a number on the door. The one next to it does, but not in focus.

Plan B is to write to the occupant!

Dear Sue, I hope u got the link.  We have just moved into 87 st helens street and very interested in finding out more history about the house, and to date we have found very little.  We do know that 87 was 2 houses up until about 1960, are you still interested in finding out about the house?
