Roosebeck
Roosebeck is a hamlet in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England, on the north west coast of Morecambe Bay. It is in the civil parish of Aldingham.[1]
Roosebeck is on the A5087 road, the coastal route from Ulverston to Barrow-in-Furness via Rampside, and is in the south west corner of South Lakeland district: immediately to its west is the boundary of the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness.
A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was opened at Roosebeck in 1879, closed in 1962, and has since been demolished.[2] In 1870 seven human skeletons, arranged in two rows, and a celt (stone tool) were found at Roosebeck.[3]
