This is a short walk of less than 1km around Millom on level pavements in association with the Norman Nicholson Society Festival.
Joseph Nicholson (1880 – 1957) lived above his gentleman’s outfitters shop at 14 St George’s Terrace. Each afternoon, he would take a break and walk around the block along Lapstone Road to the School and back along St George’s Road. People were said to set their clocks by him. His son, Norman Nicholson the poet, spent almost all of his life living in that building and he gives accounts of Joe and his life in Millom in his poetry and autobiography “Wednesday Early Closing”.
There are few opportunities to sit down on the walk. We will have a short discussion first outside the shop and afterwards in the Market Square where there is seating.
This is a dog friendly walk. However, please put your dog on a lead.
14 St George's Terrace, Millom, LA18 4DB.
