Just adding to Margaret Beeson's memories of Botts Lane (http://applebymagna.org.uk/appleby_history/botts_lane.htm).
My grandparents were Mark and Annie Smith, who were also kind to the Army lads in the site adjoining Meadowside. Long story but my mother, Mark's daughter Dena married one of these soldiers, after Mark took pity on the plight of the conditions the soldiers endured, the wet, the cold, poor clothing etc. George Webb, my father was a Quaker, bullied into the Army after the bombing of his home in London and death of his parents Georgena Baker
