Hi RootsChat,
Thanks for the offer but unfortunately Senhouse street is now a large car park and an old folks home.

My ancestors lived there in 1840 I would like to have seen what it looked like...

I have tried e-mailing the Whitehaven News a couple of times with no reply

Jim,
Try Ralph Lewthwaite at rafe AT haven90.freeserve.co.uk.
He's probably your best chance, as he has hundreds of photos

Hello. I wonder if you ever found your photo.
I also had relatives in Senhouse Street, Whitehaven. On the 1881 census they are listed as James Trainer and his family but I could not find them in 1891 or 1901, except for my gg grandfather who became a mariner in Liverpool.

I was planning to visit there one day but I don't think I want to see a car park.
