KANGOL HELMETS
Jacques Spreiregen opened a factory in 1938 in Cleator making berets. He recruited his nephew Joe Meisner to work with him and later another nephew Sylvain Meisner who was to run the Carlisle factory. The business expanded with the takeover of William Carrick and Sons, hatters, Denton Holme in 1954. Carlisle factory made magnetic seat belts. Kangol exhibited seatbelts at the 1963 Motor Show at Earl’s Court, but little production occurred until 1966. In 1967 legislation said that any new UK car must be fitted with front seatbelts, giving an impetus to the company. Patents covered a one handed operation buckle and an inertia reel. Kangol Marget’s business was inextricably linked to the various laws world wide concerning seat-belt fitment and wearing. Factory extension completed in 1968. In the early 1970s there was a crash helmet assembly area and half a dozen belt assembly lines, just one producing the Reflex inertia reel belts. By 1974 bought by American Safety Equipment [ASE]. In 1975 550 full-time staff. In 1978 Marmon Corporation bought ASE. 1987 Allied Signals Inc bought ASE from Marmon. European division renamed BSRD, Bendix Safety Restraints Division [BSRD}. 1991 new production introduction of the Mechanical Buckle Pretensioer which effectively tied the occupant to the chassis via the car-seat and dramatically reduced the forces on the occupant’s body as the vehicle crashed. 1988 sales from Carlisle hit £30 million. BSRD division put up for sale and bought by the BREED Corporation. Following a chaotic period BREED filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the dismantling of the Carlisle factory continued apace with yet another new owner, Key Safety [renamed Carlyle Management Group] who relocated production from the city to Romania in 2003. The factory was demolished and student residences built here. Various bits of the business lingered on in the city but a total closure was always imminent for the business which had at its peak employed 1,000 people in the city. Company closed in Carlisle in 2005. Kangol Place now occupies a part of the site. Kangol started making berets. It has been suggested [by Sylvain Meisner] that the name comes from the principal constituents of these berets, k = knitted, ang=angora ol = wool

D Perriam p60 Kingmoor Marshalling Yard. Under the British Railways Modernisation Plan of 1955 Carlisle was to have a new yard, the largest nationally under the scheme. Land at Kingmoor adjoining the West Coast Man Line, covering 500 acres and measuring two and three-quarters mile by one mile wide was purchased in 1956. Construction began in October 1959, coming into operation in 1963 at a cost of £4.5 million. Farmland was levelled and drained and this was covered in 750,000 tons of ironworks slag from West Cumberland and Scotland. This was topped by 100,000 tons of stone ballast. The yard was floodlit making 24 hour work possible. However railway freight was declining and as early as 10.05.1963 the Carlisle Journal ran a headline ‘Kingmoor Marshalling Yard; Will it be a White Elephant’.
KINGMOOR NATURE RESERVE Taken over 1914
D.Perriam Stanwix p63 In 1908 a scheme for giving unemployed men work by planting trees was considered but in 1913 the decision was taken to make it a bird sanctuary and nature reserve. For this purpose it was placed in the hands of the Tullie House Committee with the object of ‘increasing the numbers of useful birds’. It remained with Tullie House until 1951 when it was transferred to the Parks Committee.

KING’S TOWER Now known as Richard’s III Tower or Tile Tower [CWAAS OS Vol 13 p189]
KINGSTOWN The Carlisle Extension Act of 1950 added Moorville, Kingstown and Greymoorhill to the city. [2BC 352 6879]
D Perriam Stanwix p80 The 1760 map of Kingmoor shows no more than 10 houses at Kingstown. By 1892 574 persons lived here. There was an abundance of clay and the claypits and kilns gave work to many residents. Before this handloom weaving had provided employment, the Carlisle Journal in May 1827 advertising for sale seven four-loom weaving shops with dwellings above newly erected. In May 1878 the Rural Sanitary Authority said that Kingstown was a disgraceful village with no ditch to throw slops into. A ditch was provided in 1892 but on a visit the Local Government Board found that residents put slops into the road rather than go three yards and put them in the proper place. As a result of this pollution ‘the best well in Kingstown smelt’.

KINGSTOWN AERODROME Municipal aerodrome opened 1933 (licensed 1934); first commercial flight landed at Kingstown from Croydon; with the formation of the Border Flying Club in June 1935 a clubhouse and hangar were built at the aerodrome; during the War Elementary Flying Training School no 15 operated from Kingstown, moving here from Redhill in June 1940; medical officer with wooden huts, including mortuary, based off California Road, opposite the aerodrome [these buildings eventually formed the basis for the James Rennie School]; after the war civilian flights resumed but the limitations of Kingstown for scheduled services was apparent, only 2,400 feet field length, nearby development, poor drainage. Still a Carlisle to the Isle of Man service began from here however all flying ceased 1957

D Perriam Stanwix p70 Turnpikes An 1818 Act inaugurated the Carlisle to Glasgow Turnpike Trust, which specified that only one toll should be levied between Carlisle and Allison Bank, This was probably why the Kingstown gate was built replacing the earlier gate at Gosling Bridge. The collection of tolls ended in 1884 in England and the turnpike wound up. The toll cottage remained as a house. In 1940 a RAF plane crashed through the roof and for many years the different coloured slates recalled the incident. Illus of house before conversion to a bank

KNOWE COTTAGE John Bolt died here 22.04.1891 and Wilhelmina Bolt died here 15.04.1892 [Stanwix MI 73/1]
KNOWEFIELD Stanwix 11.06.1797 Joseph Stephenson of Knowe Field [Baptisms and Burials of St Michael’s Church, Stanwix]; The house Knowefield was previously called Rose House. The 1840 tithe map for Stanwix shows a house called Knowefield, which was extensively altered for GHH Oliphant-Ferguson in 1862. It was this house which formed the nucleus for Little and Ballantyne’s nursery. Little and Ballantyne after the death of the proprietors was first run by trustees under the management of Baxter Smith. He was joined in partnership by James Watt of Edinburgh in 1868. It was perhaps at this time that the firm leased the Knowfield Estate and abandoned the nurseries on London Road. Watt became the sole owner of the business and he lived in Knowefield House surrounded by the Little and Ballantyne nursery. The firm flourished receiving Queen Victoria’s Royal Warrant on 25.07.1884, and they then called themselves the Queen’s Seedsmen. The lease of the estate ran out in 1933 and the estate was put up for sale. Little and Ballantyne were now able to purchase but relinquished part of the land for housing

1901 Bulmer’s Directory p267 The Knowefield Nurseries, the property of Messrs Little and Ballantyne, are situated in Stanwix; they are upwards of 150 acres in extent and amongst the largest in Britain, employing at some seasons of the year about 200 hands. They are famed for roses, of which 60,000 to 70,000 may be seen in flower at one time, forest trees, fruit trees, schrubs, rhododendrons, greenhouse and stove plants and alpine and herbaceous plants, are all well worth a visit, which will be both instructive and interesting; it is one of the sights of Carlisle. These nurseries were selected by the English Government to re-afforest the Isle of Man, where many millions of young trees were planted. The seed department is conducted in one of the most handsome and substantial buildings in Carlisle, adjoining the railway station, and contains an area of 30,000 superficial feet of floor-room, with the most complete set of steam machinery for cleaning and dressing seeds - the only machinery of its kind in the northern counties. The firm of Messrs Little and Ballantyne has been established nearly and century, and has been for many years been one of the leading concerns in the trade
