Ulverston... images from our recent holiday trip.
The town is well known for the Hoad Monument (it's a replica of Eddystone Lighthouse)
Stan Laurel was apparently born in Ulveston... he is their most famous son.
There is a Laurel and Hardy museum in the town... it's in an old cinema.

Mandy wiggling Ollie's tie... he didn't blink an eye.

really like the lighthouse monument. :)
The lighthouse is superb, and Stan and Ollie, they are in a world of their own.
Cool stuff dude!
I used to take groups of kids climbing on the rock slab below that lighthouse! But that was last century!
Nice pictures.

How interesting. Never knew he came from there and love the statues.
What a fun place.
Love that monument!! And all the birds circling it!
A fun post, and I like the lighthouse shot!
Beautiful lighthouse -- and Mandy and Ollie look cute together.
They sorta' need a new famous person there though -- I wonder how long it will be before nobody knows who Laurel and Hardy are. I am old and I barely know.
I love the view of the lighthouse and birds..The museum looks like it would be a fun place to visit. Great post, enjoy your weekend!

Stan & Olli - the heros of my youth!

Used to like watching their films and knew one was English but never knew from where
I got so behind with you! Love this! I know how proud they must be of him! Great statue!
