More about this scene

Although described in this 1950s photograph as 'The Mill', this sturdy 18th-century cottage at picturesque Ashford in the Water, near Bakewell, looks more like a farmhouse, with its barn and stables on the left. Ashford was a centre of lead mining in the 18th and 19th centuries, and is now a popular tourist village.
