Secret Kendal offers a unique insight into the 'Gateway to the Lakes'
through a series of little-known and forgotten stories, facts and
anecdotes from its past. Local author Andrew Graham Stables takes the
reader on a fascinating journey from pre-Roman times to the present day.
He tells how a mistake in the preparation of peppermint creams led to
the town's most famous export, as well as introducing the reader to
nefarious characters and telling tales of dark deeds from its long and
often grisly history. Secret Kendal delves beneath the surface of this
ancient market town, revealing a lesser-known and unsavoury past that
even most local people don't know.
