Samuel Sheldon Millom –
Building Contractors for Cumbria
Building contractors Coniston
Coniston started as a farming village like most of the towns in this area and quickly grew when it was needed to serve the local copper and slate mines. It gained popularity with tourists around the mid-19th century and has been home to painters, poets and lovers over the preceding decades. It is the Lake at Coniston that finally put the town on the map when Donald Campbell broke several world water speed records during the 50’s and 60’s before dying in a tragic accident during an attempt to break the record he already held again. With a museum nearby dedicated to the feat the lake is also home to popular activities such a kayaking and canoeing. Peace and tranquillity are what one experiences when they push off from the shores into the middle of the lake. The whole village was powered by hydroelectricity during the 1920s but this became so heavily taxed that the people there were forced to return to the national grid. Since 7 March 2007 a hydro-electric scheme has been in use to power up to 300 homes; being sited near the original power station.

A Domestic Client
“I have worked with this company on many projects in the Millom area since 1978. I have always found the standard of their workmanship to be very good and projects were completed within the required time scale. I have found the company to be easy to work with and could not describe them as ‘claims conscious’. I would not hesitate to recommend them as a good reliable firm of building contractors.”
