Market Place,Stricklandgate

This public house still shows signs of aving once had a galleried front. The football, from which the inn took the name, was won and retained as a trophy in a fierce contest played between Kendal and some neighbouring township. For many generations it hung suspended in the kitchen until the house was rebuilt. John F Curwen, Kirkbie Kendal (1900)
