CUMBRIAN INTERLUDE: Around Wigton

Wigton, Cumbria. August 2010


 
The cycle shop in West St was closed for the holidays

 
      
 

 
 
 
      
 
      
George Moore erected the Market Cross at the centre of the town in 1872, a replacement for an earlier wooden cross burnt when the 1805 Trafalgar celebrations got a little out of hand. In 2004 Wigton was the first UK town to impose a curfew on young teenagers.
      
Eliza Moore looks down from the cross. The four reliefs are by Thomas Woolner (1825-1892.).
