me sick w^{ch} I found by its Effects whenever I met w^{th} any, tho’ I did not discern it by the taste; in Suffolke and Norfolke I also met w^{th} it, but in these parts its altogether y^e oatbread. Kendall is a town built all of stone, one very broad streete in which is the Market Crosse; its a goode tradeing town mostly famed for the Cottons: Kendall Cotton is used for blanckets and the Scotts use them for their Plodds and there is much made here and also Linsi-woolseys, and a great deale of Leather tann’d here, and all sorts of Commodityes—twice a weeke is y^e market ffurnished w^{th} all sorts of things. The River Can w^{ch} gives name to the town is pretty Large but full of Rocks and stones that makes shelves and falls in the water, its stor’d w^{th} plenty of good ffish and there are great ffalls of water partly naturall and added to by putting more stones in manner of Wyers, at w^{ch} they Catch Salmon when they Leape with speares. The Roaring of y^e water at these places sometymes does foretell wet weather; they do observe when the water roares most in the fall on the Northside it will be ffaire, if on the Southside of the town it will be wet. Some of them are falls as high as a house. The same observation is at Lancaster at the Wires where they Catch Salmon; against Stormes or raines it will be turbulent and Rore as may be heard into the town. There are 3 or 4 good houses in the town, y^e rest are like good traders houses very neate and tight. The streetes are all pitch’d w^{ch} is Extreame Easy to be repair’d, for the whole Country is like one Entire Rock or pitching almost all y^e Roads. At the Kings arms, one M^{rs} Rowlandson, she does pott up the Charr ffish the best of any in the Country: I was Curious to have some and so bespoke some of her, and also was as Curious to see the great water w^{ch} is the only place that ffish is to be found in, and so went from Kendall to Bondor 6 miles thro’ narrow Lanes, but the Lands in y^e jnclosures are Rich. But here Can be noe Carriages, but very narrow ones like Little wheele-barrows that with a horse they Convey their fewell and all things Else. They also use horses on which they have a sort of Pannyers some Close, some open, that they strew full of hay turff and Lime and Dung and Every thing they would use, and the reason is plaine, from the narrowness of the Lanes where is good Lands they will Loose as Little as they Can, and where its hilly and stoney no other Carriages Can pass, so they use these horse Carriages, and abundance of horses I see all about Kendall streetes with their Burdens. This Kendall is the biggest town and much in y^e heart of Westmoreland, but Appleby 10 mile off is the shire town where the session and assizes are held and is 7 miles to this great Lake Wiandermer or great standing water w^{ch} is 10 mile long and near halfe a mile over in some places. It has many Little hills or jsles in it, one of a great bigness of 30
