london diary

Tuesday

Tuesday morning we walked to the station. The most direct route was along a footpath to The Row 

and then down The Row to another path across the golf course. 

The station is now private housing. 'Sunny Silverdale - The loveiest spot on Morecambe Bay' 

And took the train  

 

through Grange-over-Sands 

and across the Leven estuary 

 

to Ulverston 

where outside the Coronation Hall 

we met Laurel & Hardy. There is a museum inside we didn't enter 

Stan Laurel is the only famous person ever born in Ulverston - or so it seems. Bill Haley's mother was born here too. 

There are some nice old shopping streets and a covered market
where we bought some sandwiches and delicious home-made quiche for our picnic lunch -  

and a rather fancy Lloyds bank
