Carr House Farm
A sketch by Thomas Thorpe looking towards the buildings north of the Green. Carr House farm & cottages are depicted on the seaward side of the view. This came from Margaret Lawson's book that was in the Pattison collection.
Margaret Lawson was born in 1841 and was the daughter of John Lawson, vicar of Holy Trinity Church.
More detail »A wonderful old photo of Carr Houses and cottages and the steps to the beach in April 1866. This would have given a good vantage point for ships being wrecked or stranded on Longscar Rocks. The cottages were demolished in 1904 and Carr House in 1925. Eventually the cliff was levelled & improvements made between the Green and the beach.
