Joe, how do you like Stainburn.? Too many hills to climb?

The Briery was the first place where I handed over my drawings for my first
paid job, waaaaay back, and my mother came too.They were 10 large drawings
of an electric sewing machine, almost unheard of in those days, to a
traveling salesman.The Briery was a very fine hotel at the time and very
upty. Mamma and I were dressed like two fisherman's fly hukes.
After refreshments we were driven home happy, me with a few bob in my
pocket.WhoooW!

I was in Stainburn just last weekend 14th May. How peacefull it is
compared to my home town of Manchester. I keep thinking that the bomb
has dropped and that i am the only person left alive. Not a soul
stirrs or can be heard apart from the birds,sheep and livestock. A
pleasant stroll around the locale on Saturday evening after a fine
sunny day was most pleasant. Hardly anyone about and a fine sunset to
be seen up on the Moor road with the windpower turbines silloutted
against the backdrop of the reddening evening sky.

My country residence is just down the road from the Briery of course.
Do you happen to remember Stainburn post office which is nearby and
when did you leave Cumbria i wonder?

Hello Joe,
I don't remember the post office, I'm afraid. I wonder if you ever got those
pictures that a friend of mine took of  the post office. It looked really
nice, a very interesting old building. Someone's Dad on the group was
postman there. I left Cumbria in 1961 at Christmas time. My parents did a
bit of courting under Cuckoo Bridge and down in Hall Park and along the
country lanes up there, so it's nice for me to think about Stainburn and
times when they were young and happy. They walked from The Marsh and Quay
all the way up there.

Edith.

Hi Edith,

yes it was me who mentioned the post office a while back and your
friend kindly sent me some local photos after i had accidentally
deleted them from my digicam. My partners father was postmaster at the
post office at 86 Stainburn Rd in the 70's i think??would have to
check up. The post office is one of the old cottages just across the
lane from the briery,i think there are two cottages together,the one
nearest the Briery is currently being refurbed and the old post office
is now lived in. I noticed the other day that they current residents
have a wall plaque with the name "the old post office". The Briery
used to be a doctors residence in that era i believe.
