To return again to the south side. The Temperance Hotel that now is and the premises behind were tenanted earlier by Samuel Crewdson, hosier, then by John Gaskarth & Sons, linsey manufacturers, and subsequently by John Johnson, hosier, who took into partnership John Thompson. When they dissolved partnership, the firm became known as John Thompson & Sons; and the last of the family of that name to reside in Kendal, and who twice served the office of Mayor, was the late James Thompson, of Singleton Park. At the back there is another old Westmorland window."
