History
History
Calgarth Estate The Calgarth Estate was a wartime housing estate built to house the workers of the nearby flying boat factory at White Cross Bay. A temporary Short Brothers factory was established at White Cross Bay to produce Short Sunderlands. By the end of the Second World War the workers had returned to their homes throughout Britain and in 1945 three hundred child survivors of the Holocaust, later known as the Windermere Boys, arrived from Eastern Europe to the Calgarth Estate to begin new lives: a film of their experience titled The Windermere Children was released in 2020. The site is now occupied by The Lakes School.
