just thought I'd share this pic that one of my mates took a few years ago, overlooking Kendal. Stunning pic, even though he's a pro photographer, (I've got his permission to post it)

Along similar lines. If you like digging out historic pictures of your home town this is an interesting site.

Here's the pub at the bottom of my road circa 1955. This pub is now about four times the size and owned by Chef & Brewer.

That meandering Road running past it is the A25 between J6 of the M25 and Redhill....how things change.
