1. Title: "A Royal Visit to Flimby, Maryport, Cumbria (1905)" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the excitement and grandeur of a royal visit to the quaint coastal town of Flimby in Maryport, Cumbria, in the year 1905. The image, taken from the Borough of Allerdale archives, depicts a large crowd gathered outside the Princess Royal Inn, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Princess Louise, the Princess Royal and the third eldest child of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The Princess Royal, who was known for her love of the arts and her patronage of various charities, was on a tour of the north of England to inspect various military installations and to meet with local dignitaries and residents. The warm reception she received in Flimby was a testament to the deep connection the people of Cumbria had with the monarchy and the sense of pride they took in their community. The photograph shows a sea of umbrellas and hats, as the crowd braces against the drizzly weather to catch a glimpse of the Princess. The Princess Royal Inn, a historic coaching inn that dates back to the 18th century, stands proudly in the background, its red-brick facade adorned with intricate carvings and ornate detailing. The inn, which was a popular stopover for travelers along the west coast of Cumbria, would have provided a warm welcome and comfortable lodgings for the Princess and her entourage. This photograph is a precious piece of history that captures a moment in time when the people of Flimby came together to celebrate their connection to the monarchy and to their community. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that continues to shape the Borough of Allerdale and the town of Maryport in Cumbria.
