SHANKLAND people

Here we celebrate some of the many Shanklands who for one reason or another are notable in some way. Our initial list is distinguished by including an MBE, a VC - and a homeless Shankland who had nowhere but a "little nook" to "crawl into to sleep or when it storms".

We hope to add to this collection by publishing further accounts of the many notable Shanklands who so distinguish our name.
