  2. Meanwhile in Morecambe, ahead of the construction of the new Eden Project North, the ground works have thrown up reminders of another large project on Morecambe sea front; the Morecambe Super Swimming Stadium.... opened in 1936, finally demolished in 1976.

    As the Midland Hotel looks forward to a new neighbour, memories of its old neighbour remind us the Morecambe has a glorious past (not that the local have forgotten that).

  3. I think I've tracked down the 17th-century deed from when my likely ancestors owned farms called Higher, Middle, and Lower Derbishires in Rivington, Lancaster, England. Now I just need to wait a few days for an archivist to take it out of the box and scan it. Exciting!

    If only I could report as much progress on all the practical modern-day things I needed to achieve this weekend.

  4. Does anyone know what a hulyer or hulyor is within the context of a 17th-century Lancashire village?

    I'm looking at a list of people who took the Protestation in Rivington in 1642. One of them could be my ancestor. His name is John Darbyshier. The other's name is Richard Hulyor. The occupation of both is listed as hulyer or hulyor.

    Edit: Problem solved. See end of thread.
