Flower Delivery to Roosecote with Clare Florist

Roosecote, a village in the county of Cumbria, is located in northwest England. It is also known as Roose. The village is a suburb of Barrow-in-Furness.

The village’s name comes from the Celtic word “roose” meaning moor or heath and “cote” meaning huts. Roosecote was settled as early as 945 AD and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as one of the townships in the Manor of Hougun. Roosecote and Roose were once two separate towns, but by 1537 they became one village.
Historically, the area known as Roose refers to the 19th century settlement of planned cottages known as Roose Cottages. These two streets of housing were built to house tin miners that worked in Stank and Yarlside for the Haematite Mining Company. The area originally known as Roosecote was an agricultural community with many farms. In modern times, the village was known for Roosecote Power Station, which closed in 2012 and demolished in 2015.  
Abbot’s Wood Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of the village of Roosecote ad is a large country house and estate with extensive grounds and footpaths. The house was built in the mid-19th century for Sir James Ramsden, who was an industrialist involved with the Furness Railway. The house is no longer standing after falling into disrepair after World War Two, but many of the estate buildings, stables, and other cottages still exist. The grounds and buildings are open to the public and maintained as a Country Wildlife Site by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
