Coach Garage, Burnfoot, Wigton
An impressively large building, which looks as if it was built in the first half of the 20C. I like the ventilator on the ridge of the extension at the back.

Joinery, Birdcage Walk, Wigton
A plaque on the side states that this building is a former 18C watermill, which was working up to the 1920s. However the plan on the plaque suggest that the mill was behind Southward House on the right.

Black-A-Moor Hotel, Wigton - May 2017 (1)
The hotel appears on the 1864 OS Map and is probably much earlier. In addition to having what may now be seen as a politically incorrect name and pub sign, the pub's other claim to fame is that the broadcaster, writer and novelist Melvyn (now Lord) Bragg was brought up in the pub from the age of 8 after his father Stanley took the tenancy shortly after the end of World War II.
