Millom's Golden Years

HelloN: I'm Frankie's narrator, I pop up sometimes.Anyway, this story of a court case in answer to the attempt to hurt the town of Millom by the press. They said   ...N: and Frankie is so glad that they did. It was like manna in the wilderness... Basically that it was a dump at the 'end of the line'. It was an attempt to kick the town by a policeman, Mr Terence McGlennon after he was posted there. Frankie found the newspaper with the report in on a bus he was driving. When he found the story he started laughing, and thought: It's much worse than they think... and the words began to flow; like the best wine into a crystal glass.So, this is a part history about Millom, which is a little North Western town built way back when to house iron ore workers to work the iron ore mine; which the town grew up around.The first two lines may be wrong, but I'm a writer and not a historian. The iron ore workers, which included my dad, sold the ore all over the world. It was the finest iron ore ever mined anywhere and Millom became world famous and as a result the pavements were paved with gold; like Coventry where I live now. All made up lies, or crapple as I like to call it.In truth, nothing much happens in Millom. The residents now would probably like to argue with that and can you blame them? It's a little town on the North West coast of Cumbria ...N: used to be CumberlandIt sits strategically placed atop a hill on the outskirts of the town. St George's can be seen from miles around, and is, whether you believe it or not, the home of the All seeing 'Eye of Isis'. The eye is invisible to all but the late reverend Joe Isaacs, the real ruler of the town. The King of Millom was/is Arthur Ferguson, who owned the shop on Wellington Street, the main shopping street. The trouble was, God, due to a terrible mistake with homework when he/she was a 'boy', saw Millom left off the map of England. Millom was left in the dark ages while the rest of the world evolved. This is the little story of an un-evolved town.Since writing this story, a lot of the town -folk have retired to coffins, which although tear-breaking sad, have actually made it that there are less to sue me; as real characters have been used.  MY defence: Millom wouldn't be the same without them; and it isn't.I hope you enjoy the read my friends...
