More about this scene

The attractively crowded buildings in the centre of Hawkshead village are well displayed by this early photograph, with the former Market Hall on the left. The Lakeland stone structures were built to last, and apart from changes to shop fronts, little has changed over the years. The 'cup of tea' offered by a small sign in the second window from the right has developed into several tea/coffee shops.
