About Fencing in Milnthorpe

Milnthorpe in Cumbria was granted a market charter by King Edward III in 1334, allowing a weekly Wednesday market and an annual fair, and for centuries it was, alongside Kendal, the most important settlement in the area. The village grew as a working port using the River Bela and its estuary, now navigable only as far as Arnside, and coastal trade kept Milnthorpe busy well into the 19th century. Beela Mill, built as a flax mill producing corn and flour sacks along with rope and twine, was later converted into a comb factory in 1868 and remained in operation for many years afterwards, a reminder of the small scale industry that once supported the village alongside its market trade.
