BOOK REVIEWS:
"In researching and writing Cleator Moor Revealed Tom Duffy has produced a book that should appeal to all those who live in, and love, the tiny West Cumbria town of Cleator Moor. From the origins of its name through its development as a prosperous mining town, Tom has searched out all the kind of details that make this a fascinating read. It is a real labour of love that will be enjoyed by many".
Hilary Scott, Editor
The Whitehaven News

"This book about the history of Cleator Moor by Tom Duffy will be a valued addition to the Cleator Moor Library Local History Section. Tom has very effectively used his postcard collection to give a potted history of the town. We get a great many visitors in the library from all corners of the world whose family tree often started in Cleator or Cleator Moor and this book will be invaluable in answering many of their questions".

looking for a poodle	by James (Member 10229087) on 16-Jul-2008
I would like to buy a poodle, does anyone know someone with some pups? the fluffball is not for me, it's actually for my wife, as now we're retired we can actually be there to train it. Offers of similar small dogs are welcome, but I think the wife is very much set on the poodle. Thanks Re: looking for a poodle by James (Member 10229087) on 16-Jul-2008 Just to add, I'm also willing to hear of any rescue centres that may have poodles, or similar manageable dogs for a newly retired couple.
