New cohort of Blue Badge guides ready to share their knowledge of Cumbria
www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk
A new cohort of Blue Badge Cumbria Tourist Guides is looking forward to sharing their knowledge of Cumbria with visitors.Despite the Bile Beans Manufacturing Company having lost a Scottish court case in 1906 for making false claims, Bile Beans remained popular through the 1930s, and continued to be sold until the 1980s.The business was so successful that the cofounder’s brother, Frank Fulford, was able to purchase Headingley Castle in Leeds in 1909, and to donate artworks to the museum at Temple Newsam.

We're loving these long summer days☀️
To celebrate, here's a wonderful summer sunset scene: The Dormitory and Transept of Fountains Abbey – Evening by J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851).
Fountains Abbey was a 12th-century Cistercian foundation dissolved during the Reformation. Turner visited the ruins in 1797 during his first trip to Yorkshire and made several detailed pencil sketches, which he then worked up into this watercolour to exhibit.
Turner was less concerned about recording architecture accurately than with capturing the evening light, which glints through the windows and leaves a reflected glow in the water.
