More about Lancaster Lancashire
Lancaster is an historic English city based in the north
west of England. It is known to have been a Roman
settlement and the present day name is thought to be
derived from the Roman name for a castle based on the
river. The river running through Lancaster is called the
Lune. There is still a castle overlooking Lancaster city
centre. The present castle dates from the early middle
ages although records suggest that the site had been
used for a Roman fort. The castle had been used as a
prison and still is although the number of prisoners has
fallen dramatically. There used to be executions that
took place at one corner of the castle and one can still
see a doorway high up in the castle walls where those
sentenced to execution took their final steps out of the
castle and onto the gallows, usually in front of a
baying crowd. Formerly, those prisoners that were to be
executed had to travel up to the top of a nearby hill
which is now the site of the Ashton Memorial.
This ties in with another part of Lancaster’s history,
namely that of a busy sea port. At one time, the port of
Lancaster dealt with more cargo than that of Liverpool.
It also allowed for the development of one of
Lancaster’s most successful industries – linoleum. James
Williamson was famous in the city as the ‘Lino King’ and
was an employer of thousands. It has been reported that
at his peak, he was the world’s fifth wealthiest man.
The linoleum that was produced in Lancaster by
Williamsons was exported around the globe and this
export was facilitated by the port. However, the river
silted up – making shipping impossible and the port
moved to Heysham where it remains to this day next door
to a nuclear power station.
Williamson’s legacy remains evident in Lancaster today.
He built the Ashton Memorial for his second wife (his
first wife also has a somewhat smaller memorial in
Williamson’s park). He also built a memorial in Dalton
square to Queen Victoria.
Another of Lancaster’s famous institutions is the
Lancaster Royal Grammar school (LRGS), bestowed its
Royal Charter by Queen Victoria during the 19th century.
This boys’ grammar school dates from the late 14th
century and was formed by one John Gardiner. The school
is located on East Road and its cricket pitches are next
to Williamson Park. Lancaster also has a girls grammar
school in the city centre.
Lancaster University is located to the south of the city
centre on a site that had been considered for LRGS
originally. It was constructed during the 1960s and now
‘educates’ about 10000 students. The site has been
undergoing dramatic expansion recently and now
incorporates Infolab 21 and a brand new business school
amongst many other new buildings.
Many people pass Lancaster on the way to the Lake
District and it is possible to see most of the city and
the whole bay area from the M6 motorway which passes
close to the area, next to the university and the Moor
hospital. |
