Stapleton has a population of 249, so ticket sales of 150 was pretty good going. Well done Stapleton!
Stapleton is a village and a civil parish in the City of Carlisle district,in the county of Cumbria, in the North West of England. It falls under this jurisdiction of Cumbria County Council and is still, to this day, a Parish.
Stapleton is located around 8 miles away from Longtown and around 12 miles away from Carlisle. Stapleton is located just east of the B6318, its nearest main road, and around 12 miles away from the M6 motorway, one of the major motorways in the United Kingdom. The nearest railway stations are Brampton (Cumbria) railway station which is around 7 miles away and is operated by Northern and is on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway.
According to the 2001 UK Census there are 87 households in the Parish of Stapleton, with a population of 221 people. This makes it an extremely small Parish. In 1991, the population of Stapleton was 230 people. This means the population has decreased around 4.5% in the past 10 years. This is slower than the population decrease in England as a whole, which is thought to be around 8% every 10 years. However the overall decrease in the English population is the underlying reason for a reduction in small Parish's populations. In 1851 UK Census the population of Stapleton was recorded as 1119 people, this is the highest recorded population of the Parish, and in the next UK census, in 1881 the Parish's population had dropped significantly, to 372 people. The population taken at the 2011 Census was 249.
The South Tynedale Railway stop Kirkhaugh Station is located 18 miles from Stapleton. The South Tynedale Railway is a heritage railway that runs from Alston in Cumbria to Lintley in Northumberland. The railway line is renowned for its location, as it is England's highest narrow gauge railway line. The South Tyndale Railway attracts an estimated 40,000 tourists a year, making it one of Cumbria's main tourist attractions.
St. Mary's Church is the Parish's church. It is located in the centre of the township and was erected in 1830 on the site of a church thought to be dating back to the 12th century. The Lanercost Priory is around 6 miles away from Stapleton. The original priory was built in 1169, as a monastery but was destroyed in 1536 by Henry VIII in a period of mass dissolution of monasteries. It is believed that Anglican services have been held in the Priory every Sunday for the past 850 years, making it one of the long-standing Anglican churches. It is an English National Heritage Site.

All that remains of the old Denver Stapleton Airport is the tower, standing in an otherwise vacant patch in a residential area.
By Thursday 9th April 1981 all the pre-20th century buildings had gone, apart from the Waggon & Horses public house.

Stapleton Road, with Beaumont Street off left. Sunday 1st June 1975. 20 Carlton "Long Size" cigarettes are 37p. The board on the first building advertises Creative Decoration Signwriting and Painting around the corner at no. 6 Beaumont St, call 51218. Telephone numbers had only five digits in those days. Among the businesses which had occupied these condemned shops were, C. T. Burt; S. Baldwin, plumber; and Keith Law, wholesale fashion cash & carry. After the shops is a garage with old-fashioned petrol pumps. In my first job I used to deliver to this establishment and remember an uneven entranceway leading to a cobbled yard at the rear with ramshackle car repair workshops. Cars include a Hillman Imp, Ford Capri, Ford Corsair and two Mk I Ford Cortinas. Beyond the garage Easton Way, part of the dual-carriageway Outer Circuit Road, the rest of which was never built, has already smashed its way across Stapleton Road, severing it in to two halves and preventing the passage of traffic from one to the other. All these buildings were demolished soon afterwards.
Sean Das from Bristol Sikh Temple explained to me what the man is spraying: "The man spraying the ground, is using tap water. We do this as a mark of respect towards our Guru (the Guru Granth sahib, our version of the Holy Bible). I theory is to basically wash and purify the ground before the Guru Granth Sahib passes over it, whilst it's not completely possible in the given circumstances, we try to do our best. "
We heard bagpipes when eating our sunday dinner and went outside to find a parade of Sikh people walking down stapleton road. They handed out some leaflets detailing what is was all about. They were celebrating the festival of Vasakhi, which appears to be sort of the founding of their religion the anniversary on the founding of the Khalsa when the rules of Sikhism were made; e.g. wearing a turban, not cutting their hair, carrying the 5 symbols etc. Like Passover and Easter it celebrates spring, goodwill and new beginnings.
There is some more info on Vasakhi on the Bristol Sikh Temple website www.bristolsikhtemple.co.uk/
Stapleton's church is a modest building with a very simple single cell interior and a humble west steeple.
It is normally kept locked outside of services.
11c Church of All Saints, 12c north aisle and nave, 15c chancel, tower and clerestory.
14c arches open onto a modern south chapel built on the site of a 14c demolished chantry chapel of St. Mary the Virgin founded by Sir Brian Stapleton to pray for his family and "all chrysten soules"
Of the 3 bells in the tower, the c1450 tenor is inscribed in Lombardic capitals, '+ ihc orate pro anima Roberti Prioris anno dni mccccmt.' and thought to have come from Marton Priory, The second bell has 'Jesus be our speed 1623,' and the treble cast by Dalton of York in 1758 says 'Repent in time.'
During the 19c restoration a small mediaeval sanctus bell was found hidden 7 feet under the tower
On the afternoon of November 9, 2010, the first snow of the season fell, late in the year for Denver. Snow shovels have been on standby for a month, summer shorts and tank tops stored on the top shelves, and leaves colored like Halloween candy have clung to branches without a frost to set them free. November 10, and the branches are bare.
I was up long before there was any hint of light. I still didn't feel right after that fever all day, two days before. But this was the first snow and I knew a high spot near Havana and Martin Luther King Boulevard that would look down on the valley and across to the Front Range, with Mount Evans, and if the sky was clear, it might just make a pretty picture.
I googled what time the sun was supposed to rise. Six thirty-six. It was five-fifty already, with the darkness already threatening to give way to light. I dressed quickly, grabbed the tripod and Canon, gave the dogs a pat and headed out. The windshield was iced over! Did I have the energy for this? After being sick?
I couldn't let this pass me by. I couldn't go the morning wondering what that shot would have looked like. I scraped the windshield, that old familiar winter screeching like steel wheels on rails, and drove East. Denver radio said it was 24 degrees.
I was there in a few minutes. The valley was newly laid with frozen sugar, so it seemed, and the peaks lathered in vanilla frosting. The old Stapleton traffic control tower glinted in gold, the cash register building downtown sparkled, and Mount Evans blushed. One leaf still hung glued to its branch by ice.
Standing there, breath turning to vapor, gawking through the viewfinder at my treasure, I never once thought about being sick.

C Stapleton & Sons, Aughrim, Wicklow Volvo B10M Jonckheere 98-KK-8027 'Lady Amelia' is pictured at the Parnell National Memorial Park, Rathdrum.
This photo was taken looking westward along the Promenade, from the platform that marks its eastern terminus. Several features have been superimposed along the left edge of the Prom. At the point where the platform railing ends is a yellow circle representing the Sun. It is 11.5" in diameter, and (this is hard to believe, but true) at that scale, the outer planets of the solar system would be located along the western extent of the Prom, 3/4ths of a mile away. The white boxes represent QR codes, which when scanned with a smartphone would direct viewers to a page with more information about each object (and those near the Sun provide general info about the overall model). Moving forward from the Sun is a series of three panels, representing Mercury's perihelion, average distance, and aphelion. Beyond that are single panels for both Venus and Earth, and then a series of three panels for Mars. Beyond that is a set of panels representing the main asteroid belt. Past the shelter is a larger panel for Jupiter and its moons. Saturn is not shown, but it would be near the pedestrian (and a close-up view of that panel is shown in photo 5980). At the visual limit of the Prom would be the location of Uranus. The orbit of Neptune is located on the opposite side of the park's water feature and is not visible from this location.
