More about this scene

Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith on the A6, takes its name from a splendid three-arched bridge across the River Eamont. It is perhaps best known for its two prehistoric monuments: King Arthur's Round Table, a Bronze Age henge, and the former Neolithic stone circle and henge at Mayburgh, of which only one standing stone now remains. The proprietress of Taylforth's Hotel (left), in the main street of Eamont Bridge, stands outside to bid farewell to a guest departing in a pony and trap.

Can anyone recall the flooding that occurred in the early 1930s? We have had flooding in recent years but we wondered if it were a regular happening?
