mmmmmmmmmmm noticed when in kendal last month there is miler and moser yard that is next to the new pram shop (margarets ) and yard 57 i think is tanners yard . my mum lives at the bottom of booths carpark but all her friends (oaps) have no idea where this yard was.
the ring o bells was the pub where my grandfather walker denney played dominoes the bowman was the bishop's blaze i think this still has me puzzled as to which yard could be harrisons

I think Tanners yard is 39, Dr. Mannings yard is 83, so Harrisons would be half way between these, maybe next to Windmill yard 65?

yes very good point my mother isn't homeless . that has given me such a laugh to go to bed on . there now are lots of houses and flats at the bottom of booths yard . as a small child in the early 70's i can still remember the two houses in the middle of booths yard (carpark) and can remember my nan who lived in lowther st (backing on to booths yard) next to the now "winebar" visiting an old lady living in one of them ( now i sound and feel old) that was when you walked down tanners yard and could see in the cellar of booth's the butchers working at their blocks .... even now in my 40s as i walk up the yard i always look to the left to where those windows were . i am wondering if the yard was where tesco (now iceland) is .

I have just been into town and I have to tell you all that Kendal is possibly the coldest place on the planet today. Not at all the sort of day for mooching around the old yards. I also suspect that I must have given the appearance of being either a mad woman ( some would say that's right anyway) or of a lost grockle ( tourist), the way I kept stopping and staring hopefully across the main street, trying to work out what the yard numbers and names were, because I had the wrong specs with me!
I have to walk up Highgate to get from my house to whatever shops I am going to and usually do it in a head down and business like sort of way, so today was an education for me as well.
So: - Dr. Manning's, definitely 83.
Tanners - 39, now has a Burgundy's Wine Bar sign across the top of it.
I went into the TIC to see if they had any old Kendal information but apart from some books of photographs, there was nothing to help. In the library local history section, I was given a massive tome to wade through, plus Wainwright's Drawings of Old Kendal and having very limited time this is what I found.
On Highgate, there were three Harrison references. The first was around the 53 - 59 area, so between Lowther Street and where Booths used to be, there was a Joseph Harrison.
A little further on, but back down by the river, Anthony Harrison had a dye house. It wasn't clear which yard led to this but it made reference to the Bird in Hand pub.
Then, around 61, Highgate, which was between Margaret's baby shop (59) and Iceland, so yes, roughly opposite the Shakespeare Inn, there was " a building of three storeys, the birthplace of Thomas Harrison, the benevolent lawyer". There was quite a substantial amount on this Harrison - apparently he gave away loaves of bread to the poor of Highgate and Kirkland. This is my favourite for a Harrison with a named yard and looking at Highgate as I walked back home, it is just possible that it is the building where Yeoman's camping equipment shop is now. Certainly it would have been a very smart building in its time and the home of some very well-to-do person. But that is absolutely guesswork so please don't take it as a fact.
There was another Harrison mentioned but it was in the Stramongate area so I sort of discounted this one.
I also saw a reference to the sack maker, Jonathan Savage but I hadn't remembered that bit of this thread so didn't make a note of it - Duh! Next time, maybe.
The only thing which threw me a bit and again, I didn't have time to work on it was that I am sure I saw a different number for Tanner's Yard from the the one that it is currently. I will have to look into that one.
If I ever have the time to get to the archives under County Hall, I may be able to find some more but for now - That's all folks!
Cheers,
Jen

Well done Jen.
Hope you've thawed out by now. You must be used to the wet rather than the cold!!
Chris

will this help been back on to mum who lives yard 57 highgate (moser's yard){ next to where margarets pram shop was } so here goes with what she has said .
yard 39 now called tanners yard was called red house yard ( her mothers back door came in to this yard )
the yard inbetween the chemist and the old booths building was yard
just after booths was yard 47 but she can't remember the name of this one .
she says that tanners yard/place was along the waterside towrds abbotts hall and was a square yard with lodging houses in there .
the bird in hand pub she drew a blank .
she says sldc have changed so many of the old names now but how she would work out where yards were is the building numbers as the yards were classed as a building ie building 37 then yard 39 then building 41
sorry this don't help

Just realized that I missed a load of letters....never got the message from 'Roots'. I'm interested in all your chat about finding the different yards....best history lesson I've had for ages....  Can't wait to come up to Kendal this summer even if I'm a grockle! (lovely word ...must remember it!  ) I love Kendal, but hopefully when it's less cold and preferably when it's not reaining...spoils the snaps!!! Lyn
