William Johnson Coulthard born 23rd September 1902. After serving his time as a joiner with his father Graham (a joiner undertaker of 19 Swan Street, Longtown, Cumberland) his father thought he should have a wider experience so he joined men from various parts of the country (and believed a London firm had the scheme in hand ) in the early 1920s in building the Brushes Estate in Sheffield. The men practised a type of factory build on the site, one of William's jobs was making stairs; others made window frames; roof trusses; doors etc. this meant they could constuct quickly. On Bank Holidays groups of them visited Bakewell; Chatsworth and other places. William stayed with the Ripley Family at 81 Bolsover Road. He returned to Cumberland and spent most of his working life with the Carlisle and District [State] Management Scheme; starting as a joiner, then works foreman. In later life he was awarded the British Empire Medal for his service.
