Cerrertonia Mar 2024 11:26am, 15 Mar 2024 20,750 posts	0 Cerrertonia An estimated three million people travelled to the North of England to view the solar eclipse of 1927, including police estimates of 100 000 people arriving at Settle, and a similar number at Hartlepool. It was cloudy, and most people were unable to see the sun.
