9 OCTOBER 2023 - 7.30pm


Roger, a long serving member of the Cumbria Industrial History Society, has always been fascinated by our industrial heritage.

​He tells of how the owners of
large country houses responded when -
in Victorian times - their relatives, friends
and colleagues in town began to enjoy
the benefits of gas and water, for example, with the turn of a tap!

​About us

​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.
