Join us at Lunesdale Hall for the second of
John Hamlett's films
Remembering Kirkby Lonsdale -
Part II
The film captures stories of this small market town
in the 1930's and 1940's as remembered by eight
of the town's oldest residents.
Part two includes childhood memories of school,
mischief & discipline. Afternoons spent at the town cinema, band practice, away matches and camp. Sundays in church and Mondays in the wash-house. And tales of the Lune from bountiful fishing to fast rising floods.
The Society recently completed the repair of 5 benches around the town. Details can be found under the 'What We Do' drop down menu above option 'Town Benches'.
We have also been busy as a committee during the lockdown and have produced a newsletter highlighting some of the things we have achieved and a few thoughts on the future. You can find out more details by clicking here and here.
Who we are
The society was established in 1972, following a successful campaign to stop the demolition of a large part of Queen's Square for development.
Kirkby Lonsdale has an extremely distinguished architectural quality and practically the whole town centre is now a Conservation Area.
The Society's remit covers Kirkby Lonsdale and its wider Rainbow parish, which includes Barbon, Casterton, Hutton Roof, Lupton, Mansergh and Middleton.
