In retirement I have spent my time researching 'forgotten lakeland tales', or added new details to known tales, such as this one on Charles Gough. No, I never have approached anyone to put them in print, I did a local history book on five girls from Nelson who drowned in Derwentwater on 12th August 1898, and found that process all consuming in time, hence the blogs. I also have brought about two plaques to be raised, one at Dockray, and another at Maryport. The former was to a police officer who died on Clough Head on 30th Sept. 1841, and the latter was to Britain's first black police officer (1835), who I did a book about. <br />I have largely dried up on subjects now, though have perhaps the biggest one to do as a Grande Finale. I may do an article on the Clough Head policeman also. <br />https://www.timesandstar.co.uk/news/17011721.ceremony-held-honour-cumbria-policeman-died-170-years-ago/<br />https://www.independent.ie/world-news/and-finally/mystery-of-lake-districts-policeman-crag-solved-35308476.html<br />This is the Derwentwater Disaster one:<br />https://www.pendletoday.co.uk/business/nelson-tragedy-remembered-tell-all-book-2104485<br /><br />Once again, thank you for your comments.<br />Lakeland Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675733364464478589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072851707202115875.post-13828909289273897712021-07-25T06:58:20.010+01:002021-07-25T06:58:20.010+01:00I was on Helvellyn on Friday morning, not for the ...I was on Helvellyn on Friday morning, not for the first time, but I took a photo of the memorial and on my return home I looked for a history towards the memorial and came across you excellent account.
