KIRKBY-IN-FURNESS 

The "Roundhead" Village

SITUATED ON THE DUDDON ESTUARY, TO THE SOUTH OF THE LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK, KIRKBY IS A COLLECTION OF ATTRACTIVE HAMLETS  LYING ALONG SIDE THE A595, 

THE LONGEST ROAD IN THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA

Kirkby residents who were actually born in the Parish of Kirkby Ireleth are given the name "ROUNDHEAD". 

This is taken from the practice in the slate quarries of rounding off the top of roofing slates. 

Some "ROUNDHEADS" refer to off comers as "SQUAREHEADS".

Problems at Grizebeck

Recent traffic jams due to the closure of the "Mousetrap" are being reported. A road restriction regarding HGV's will be put in place in early January. 

(In 2004 SLDC put forward a plan to prohibit HGV's travelling along the A595 except for access. The alternative route was to be through Greenodd. Here is the discussion and voting held at the Planning Committee Meeting held in Kendal.)
