Kendal History Tour by Billy K Howorth, £6.99
TAKE a journey through Kendal’s past with Billy Howorth’s informative new book. From Abbot Hall to the Old Moot Hall, Kendal Parish Church to the House of Correction, Hodgson’s Brush Factory to Farrer’s Tea and Coffee Merchants, the history behind some of the famous landmarks are explained.
Kendal over the years has undergone numerous changes, but delve a little deeper and you can still see signs of forgotten and lost buildings. The town today has retained its character, with its warren of streets, bridges and the river playing an important part in its layout. Small enough to fit in your bag or pocket, this book allows you to travel back in time and explore the maze of streets, yards and hidden history of Kendal.
