He is considered the last great music-hall inspired variety comic but what drives this man whose career has been tainted by hardship? Dodd still lives in his childhood home of Knotty Ash & has never married despite having two-long term fiances.

Kendal is often described by two other names one being The Auld Grey Town & the other The Gateway to the Lakes. One of the earliest indications of the town name was in Norman times when it was known as Kirk byre Ken dale (church town in Kent dale). The central area at that time was built up around the parish church & Kirkland; & on the southern outskirts there is an ancient marker stone bearing the carving of the name Kirby Kendal. This is a fascinating area with its many old yards leading down to the River Kent. It has been home to such well known industries as Kendal Brown Snuff Kendal Socks K Shoes & Kendal Mint Cake; the first & last of these are still in production today. This unique selection of old & new images & informative captions will be essential reading for anyone who knows & loves this town. ...
