Bowston
Bowston is a village in Cumbria, England, situated about north of Kendal, beside the River Kent. It has an old, probably 17th century, bridge over the river which is a Grade II listed structure. A rare VR (Victoria Regina) postbox can be seen in the wall at the junction of Burneside Road and Potter Fell road.
The village was home to William T. Palmer, an unsung Lakeland author, climber and local man.
A mile north of the village, Godmond Hall is a 17th-century house incorporating a medieval pele tower.〔(Godmond Hall at British Listed Buildings Online )〕
== History ==
Bowston has roots in the paper production industry, which made Cropper's Paper Mill at Burneside successful. In 1880 Bowston Mill, between Burneside and Cowan Head, was purchased by Cropper's. Bowston Mill may well have begun life as a fulling mill, but a new building was constructed to prepare rags and ropes for the other two mills. Bowston Mill was closed in the early 1960s when waste paper rather than rags came into use in the paper pulp. The mill has now been replaced by terraced housing running along the river's edge.〔(History of James Cropper plc )〕
