Broughton-in-furness
Broughton-in-Furness is a compact market town around the south boundary of England's Lake District National Park. It's inside the Furness region of Cumbria, which was part of Lancashire prior to 1974. It situated near the River Duddon, inland from the coastal hamlet of Foxfield. Broughton is named within the Domesday Book of 1086 as one of several townships forming the Manor of Hougun held by Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria. Dating from about the eleventh century, the original settlement grew into the local market town for fishing and agriculture, and now holds a frequent farmers cattle market. The central obelisk in the town square was built to mark the Jubilee of King George III in 1810. In 1859, the Coniston branch of the Furness Railway, which passed via the town, opened. Nearly one hundred years later, in 1958, the line was closed and taken apart, and the cleared ground is now a public bridleway. The nearest railway station to Broughton is now Foxfield railway station, 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) to the south west of the town. The creation of the National Park in the 1950s attracted some tourism to the area, even though most vacationers still head further north or east towards the central lakes. In the 1990s, the A595 road was diverted to attempt to boost the atmosphere of the town and preserve its rural charm. The town includes, amongst other shops, a Post Office, a newsagents, a grocer, a butcher, a bakery as well as a variety of pubs and restaurants. There's a Tourist Information Centre in the main square.
