Ulverston

A view down the cobbled Market Street in Ulverston.

On the corner of King Street, with Market Street off to the left past Tesco. There are some really old buildings in the town and,despite the presence of Tesco, also many individual small shops, which adds to the character of the place.

Looking along King Street. Note the chemist and the old signage on the side of the building ' Drug Warehouse!'

This fine looking building is the Coronation Hall, which is the Town Hall and Theatre. The foundation stone for the building is dated 1914, and it was completed at a cost of £8,513. 

Next door to the Coronation Hall is another building of distinction, which houses the Post Office. It was built during the First World War, shortly after the Coronation Hall was completed. 

The Laurel and Hardy statue. Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston on 16th June 1890 as Arthur Stanley Jefferson.

Not forgetting the dog of course!

Perhaps I should have popped in for a brew and chat?

Another view of Market Street.

Looking in the other direction. 

Market Street again. Look at all those small shops on the left. It's also good to wander around without having to bother about traffic too much. 

Gillam's have been in Ulverston since 1892.
