New Heritage Display at the Sailing Club

New Arnside Maritime Heritage Display Opening

A new Heritage Display about Arnside’s Maritime Heritage is opening in the Sailing Club Clubhouse ,for the first time this weekend on Monday 25th May from 1pm to 4pm. Teas, coffees and cakes will be available.

The estuary acted as the port for Kendal and had its own Vice Admiral. In the nineteenth century, with big houses being built on the shore, leisure sailing developed.

Crossfields built yachts and Morecambe Bay Prawners, including Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallow’. The viaduct is a major feat of Victorian engineering.

The Heritage Display has been funded by a grant from Westmorland and Furness Council.

We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us staff the exhibition.
