Thanks for stopping bye.I hope to provide an insight into Kendal both for visitors and residents, bye posting information of Kendal's History, its present , and its future. With information on its business life past and present, its "Places of Interest" , on its people and links to other sites which may prove of interest to anyone interested in Kendal , The Lake District , and Cumbria
The above picture was taken on a quiet Sunday afternoon in June 2009 and shows Kendal Town Hall looking towards Highgate. The Town hall started life as the "Assembley Rooms" in 1825 and did not become the "TownHall" until some 40 years later. The Belltower and Clock were inaugurated in June 1897. Every three hours during the day the carillion places a different folk tune at 9am, 12noon, 3pm and 6 pm. The clock strikes each hour and chimes each quarter hour.
The Town Hall is a landmark in Kendal and can be seen from many parts of the town. Great for visitors as it currently houses the Visitor Information Centre.
For more information on The Town Hall try this link to the "Visit Cumbria" website
Future Blogs will have photos from all over the town , many featuring some of the "yards" that make Kendal famous (well almost as famous as our Mint Cake).
