Goose Green, Dalton-in-Furness


Goose Green is one of the older parts of Dalton-in-Furness, situated a short distance south of St Mary's Church. The name possibly relates to there once being a pond and village green with geese here. There is a well preserved stone Pinfold where Goose Green meets Abbey Road. The Brown Cow Inn, at no.10 Goose Green, is said to be one of the oldest buildings in Dalton. The town's former workhouse, old school (now Chequers Lodge), gas works and first gaol were all located on Goose Green. More recently, a community garden was developed on Goose Green. The Council had formally taken on responsibility for the land from Westmorland and Furness Council in December 2023, and the community garden was developed in partnership with R D Landscapes.  It was officially opened on 3rd September, 2025.
