Kirkby Stephen is a civil parish and small market town in Cumbria, in North West England which historically, is part of Westmorland. The town is located on the A685, surrounded by sparsely populated hill country, and about 25 miles (40 km) from the nearest larger towns, Kendal and Penrith. The River Eden rises 6 miles (9.7 km) away in the peat bogs below Hugh Seat and passes by, almost unobserved, on the eastern edge of the town.
Kirkby Stephen has a parish council and is a centre for several smaller villages and parishes in the surrounding area, including Nateby, Ravenstonedale and Mallerstang. A community and council centre in the library, provides information and services on behalf of all the local councils (county, district and parish), and general and local information and facilities.
Kirkby Stephen serves as a base for tourism in the Upper Eden Valley area and for walking tours of the Valley. It is on the line of the Coast to Coast Walk, devised by Alfred Wainwright, Each June there is the Mallerstang Horseshoe and Nine Standards Yomp which takes a strenuous route along the high ground along both sides of the neighbouring dale of Mallerstang, including Wild Boar Fell and the summit of nearby Nine Standards Rigg. The surrounding countryside attracts walkers but the Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue Team sometimes has to assist those who are not fully prepared for harsh conditions on the fell tops.
It is sometimes said that Faraday Road (parallel with High Street and Market Street) is named in honour of the scientist, Michael Faraday (1791–1867) but it is named after his uncle, Richard Faraday, who was a respected local tradesman. Richard's younger brother, James, was for some time the blacksmith in Outhgill, but his third child, Michael, was born soon after they had moved to London. The Faraday brothers moved from Clapham in the West Riding to the Kirkby Stephen area because the family were all members of the Sandemanian sect, and at that time there was locally one of the few Sandemanian communities with a chapel, which was in the courtyard behind what is now the HSBC bank.
Stenkrith Park is south of the town on the B6259 road to Nateby. The river scenery here marks the change from limestone at the head of the Eden Valley in Mallerstang, to the red sandstone which is characteristic further along the Eden Valley. The main rock, from which most houses in Kirkby Stephen is built, is brockram, composed of fragments of limestone in a cement of red sandstone. The river at Stenkrith has carved this rock into many fantastic shapes, collectively known as the Devil's Grinding Mill or Devil's Hole. This spectacular natural scenery has been supplemented, in recent years, by three (human) additions. The ‘Poetry Path' has 12 stones which were carved by the artist Pip Hall, with poems by Meg Peacock, depicting a year in the life of a hill farmer.
Eden Benchmarks: Beside the river there is a sculpture by Laura White, entitled ‘Passage', one of the ten Eden Benchmarks, a series of sculptures that have been placed at intervals along the River Eden from its source in Mallerstang to the Solway Firth. The Millennium Bridge was opened in 2002, and provides pedestrian access from the park to a walk along the old south Durham railway track.
Kirkby Stephen West station, on the Settle-Carlisle Line, is located over 1 mile (2 km) south west of the town. This railway line kept to the high ground and avoided descending into the valleys wherever possible. A second, older, railway station is also situated in the village. This is Kirkby Stephen East station, situated at the southern edge of the village. Originally a large junction of the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway and the Eden Valley Railway, the station was re-opened by the Stainmore Railway Company in August 2011 as a heritage centre and operational railway representing the 1950's, and is open to visitors every weekend.

KIRKBY Future — Behind the scenes
We are Kirkby brings together two distinct but interlinked collaborative projects by photographic artist Tony Mallon, filmmaker and visual anthropologist Jemma O’Brien, the Northwood Golden Years Group and service users and staff from Kirkby Resource Centre.
Photographer Tony Mallon has been working with local residents from the Northwood Golden Years group since 2016, developing collaborative projects, which explore the past, present and potential future of people and places that make up this local area.
For this new iteration of the project the group have also been working with filmmaker Jemma O’Brien as well as local residents and staff from Kirkby Resource Centre.
The exhibition includes images, video and audio bites co-produced by Tony Mallon, Jemma O’Brien and the Northwood’s group, representing the current hustle and bustle of the town market. Whilst the works celebrate the current community who support their local high street, the work also reflects the ever-shifting landscape of Kirkby town centre.
We are also delighted to be showcasing a video work showcased recently as part of our Kinship exhibition, which focuses on two of the group members, Dolly and Joan. The video work reflects upon the close ties, trust and friendships, which form overtime.
As part of a new collaboration between Tony Mallon and the staff and service users and local residents accessing the Kirkby Resource Centre. Tony worked closely with individuals, many of whom live with Dementia, and staff to explore alternative techniques of how story telling and physical movement can act as a trigger for key memories in people’s lives. We are excited to show a new series of works in progressing reflecting the initial residency.
This is a ‘Kirkby Futures Project’ brought to you by Tony Mallon, Jemma O’Brien, Northwood Golden Years group and Kirkby Resource Centre.
The project is commissioned by Open Eye Gallery and supported by the Young At Art initiative (Baring Foundation and Arts Council England), PH Holt Foundation and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Kirkby Lonsdale is a small town and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England, on the River Lune. Historically in Westmorland, it is situated 13 miles south east of Kendal along the A65. Notable buildings include St Mary's Church, a Norman structure with fine carved columns. The view of the River Lune from the churchyard is known as Ruskin's View; it was praised by John Ruskin as One of the loveliest views in England and painted by J.M.W. Turner.
Kirkby Lonsdale developed at a crossing point over the River Lune where several drovers' and packhorse routes converged. It is one of the few Cumbrian towns mentioned in the Domesday Book, where it is described as Cherchibi (village with a church). The earlier church was wholly rebuilt by the Normans, who also erected an artificial mound or motte on nearby glebe land.
A wooden tower or 'keep' would have been built on the top, and the stronghold used as a base to administer power and control over the surrounding area. In later years, the mound was used for cockfighting, hence the current name of Cockpit Hill. In 1093, Ivo de Taillebois (Baron of Kendal) gifted the church at Kirkby Lonsdale to St Mary's Abbey in York, which held it until the Dissolution. Thereupon the Abbey and all its possessions, including St Mary's Church at Kirkby Lonsdale, were granted to Trinity College, Cambridge, which retains patronage to this day.
In 1227, the town gained a market charter and the right to hold an annual fair every September. Every week, stallholders would gather on Market Street to sell their wares, with horse traders in the Horsemarket and pig sellers in Swinemarket. Thursdays were, as now, the scene of great activity as people flocked into the town to buy all manner of goods and merchandise.
The steep incline of Mill Brow with its fast flowing (now culverted) stream was the industrial heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, with several mills using water power for grinding corn, bark and bone, carding wool, manufacturing snuff, making bobbins, fulling cloth and sawing timber.
The Keighley and Kendal Turnpike of 1753 passed through Kirkby Lonsdale and there met a turnpike from Milnthorpe on the coast. In 1818 the two trusts were amalgamated. Kirkby Lonsdale railway station, 2 miles (3 km) away in Lancashire, opened in 1861 and closed to passengers in 1954.
Today, Kirkby Lonsdale bustles with activity, with a weekly market, many local events and traditional shops. The centre is a mix of elegant 18th century buildings and stone cottages huddled around cobbled courtyards and narrow alleyways, with names such as Salt Pie Lane and Jingling Lane.

Wavo 420 - Most Used Handgun in Uk Found #StreetNews
The Beretta 9000S handgun was used by gangsters in 19 shootings across England and Scotland in just seven years.
The attacks included five attempted murders and eight home attacks as well as shootings at a shopping centre and at a chip shop, which made it the most prolific weapon ever traced by British policeThe gun later gradually moved southwards and predominantly circulated in the West Derby, Anfield and Kirkby area.
Police are still yet to determine whether the gun's original owner moved with it or whether it was handed over to another individual but between 2010 and 2014, the gun became increasingly prolific.
Fourteen incidents were recorded during this short time span and all were thought to be targeting specific individuals.
In the meantime, the 17th shooting had taken place at the Moorfield Shopping Centre in Kirkby, Merseyside, which left one victim seriously injured.
It was followed shortly after by ten bullets being fired off at a property in the nearby area of Wavertree.
The #wavo420 Gang members were jailed for a total of 88 years at Liverpool Crown Court .
