More about this scene

Some of the older buildings of the village present a pretty and tranquil picture below the wooded hillsides, although in 1955 the road through the middle of Staveley still carried all the traffic to and from Windermere. Similarly, there is no indication of industrial activity; until the 19th century, this was a dominant feature of Staveley, with bobbin and other mills lining the banks of the River Kent.
