SIR, I wonder if any Messenger readers may be able to help me with a bit of local knowledge? There is a road which runs between Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh which leads into Mallerstang and is referred to locally as The Tommy Road'. I have asked some of the regulars in my pub if they know the reason why and nobody seems to. Can any of your readers supply the answer?
