The town of Windermere today which is essentially around the railway station essentially originates from the mid 1847 when the railway was built. There was not a lot there prior to that, most of the residences would have been at Bowness (Now Bowness on Windermere). I think in records you will find that area and Bowness referred to the township or constablewick of Undermillbeck or Applethwaite, the other two townships of the parish are Troutbeck and Ambleside. So if you want to know where to look today, high street today is in Windermere, in 1880 Windermere was there but more likely for records purposes High Street would be said to be in Applethwaite. The division between Applethwaite and Undermillbeck is the Mill Beck which runs east to west about half a mile south of Windermere railway station. Windermere is mainly in Applethwaite, Bowness is totally in Undermillbeck. High street runs south west of Windermere Railway station I am not sure if that helps or confuses the issue John -----Original Message----- From: Jane Taylor [mailto:janetaylor21@ntlworld.com] Sent: 26 January 2010 22:10 To: eng-westmorland@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-WESTMORLAND] DAWES I know that, but Windermere today is different today.
