 Thorstein of the Mere by W.G. Collingwood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Greenodd was the only house up the firth, and it was not always that chapmen called there; and so they were made much of.
These woods were on a long hill that made a wall to the valley against Greenodd: and the fields lay between, and the tide ran up the Crake to the point where the valley narrowed and the fields ended, and there was a wath or fording-place.
Thorstein had seen some little sport at Greenodd, but it was clear that here the great lake was a teeming fish-pond and the great fells one deer-park, and that these red men were the cunningest of hunters and fishers, if their farming was nought.

 Department for Transport - The Secretaries' of State Statutory Decision on Highway Scheme: Decision Letter
Detrunking of A595 Between Calder Bridge and Grizebeck, and A5092 Between Grizebeck and Greenodd (Between the A595 and A590)
The draft Orders in paragraph 1, when made, would de-trunk the A595 between Calder Bridge and Grizebeck and the A5092 between Grizebeck and Greenodd - between the A595 and A590, transferring responsibility from the Secretary of State for Transport to Cumbria County Council, who would become the highway authority for them.
The Secretary of State for Transport decided, as a matter of policy, that the A595 between Calder Bridge and Grizebeck and the A5092 between Grizebeck and Greenodd - between the A595 and A590, did not meet the published criteria for a nationally important trunk road on the core network, and so would be detrunked.
