New parish councillor John Bateson has unearthed and improved this rare photograph of Oxenholme station back in 1898 and was happy to share it with Natland News. The signs on the platform used to say: ‘Oxenholme – Junction for Kendal & Windermere’ until about 30 years ago.
Report of October Women's Institute Meeting
At a well attended October meeting of Natland and Oxenholme W.I., President Marion Thornton
welcomed all and introduced three new members to our Institute.
Diana Dickinson reported that several members had enjoyed their visit to the Theatre at Keswick to see a production of 'Rookery Nook'.
As the result of a ballot, Kirsten Cannon will be our delegate, representing us at the National
A.G.M. in London in June 2015.
The meeting welcomed guest speaker Brenda Austin who brought samples of her vast collection of tins, each one had a fascinating story and associations with our country's history, which brought back many memories. She was thanked on our behalf by Joan Airey. The competition for an empty tin was won by Audrey Casson, second Joyce Ormrod.
The next meeting, the A.G.M. and Jacobs Join Supper, will be held on Wednesday, 19th November, at 7.30pm, in the Village Hall, Natland. Margaret Lancaster, secretary.

The Headteacher's Daughter
Adrienne Storm was the Natland Primary School Headteacher's daughter.
She lived at School House on the Natland Village Green in the late 1950s and early 60s.
Recently she discovered Natland News and its Scrapbook pages of old photos. As a result, she has sent us these old photos of the Village Green and written about her time in Natland.
Does anyone know who is the young girl running alongside the Village Green?
