Post by: martinharkins on Saturday 01 January 11 15:41 GMT (UK)
Hi every one in trying to see if any body knows anything about the Temperance movement in Northern Cumberland. Perticularly there was a temperance hotel in maryport at 125 senhouse street, orginally owned by Hodgson/Finlay then taken over by my relitives the SHAW's at a unknown time between 19?? and 1914 then the building  is next owned by the british legion . if any one knows of any details, stories or even picture i would love to hear from you as its proven a hard area so far.

Could be - hairdressers is 31 and the sandwich shop 33 http://tinyurl.com/29tuqzt

Looking at Senhouse St prompted me to look at where my ancestor Ann SCOTT had lived - her "Small China Shop" was No.75 :) http://tinyurl.com/357dpfb

Thomas Shaw was certainly running the temperance hotel at 125 in 1910 according to Kelly's Directory. Curiously there was also a waverley temperance hotel in Curzon St. Also curiously, when I worked in Maryport, the owner of the Waverley Hotel was TT and kept the best beer in Maryport as he only tasted it when cleaning the pipes and didn't drink it. I'm assuming he's dead now as it is a lot of years ago although daughter Susan may have taken over.

It looks as if it might accept the intemperate nowadays doesn't it?  ;D http://tinyurl.com/65cvffc

Just checked your map Geoff and yes, that's the Waverley at the other end of the block from the hairdressers. If memory serves me well, that used to be a chemists. bob

Hi,

Have just started researching my husband's family - his great grandfather was Thomas Shaw and his grandmother was born in Trevelyan House, Senhouse Street.

Yes this was bought by the Shaws/Sarah Ann Hudson from the Hodgeson's after living at 14 Furness Road in Maryport in the 1890s
