More about this scene
In 1893 the natural lake of Haweswater nestled peacefully in the unspoilt and beautiful valley of Mardale. At this time the road to Mardale village ran along the west side of the lake. Not many years later, following the Haweswater Act of 1919, Manchester Corporation would be given the right to acquire the lake and its surrounding catchment area for a major reservoir.
