More about this scene

These elegant Scots pines on the shores of Buttermere are among the most photographed of any in the Lake District. However, this Frith scene must be one of the earliest photographs of them. The fells in the background are High Crag and High Stile, with Comb Crags and Burtness Combe in between.

My sister Muriel and I attended buttermere school.I passedmy 11plus and went to Keswick school as a boarder.Muriel passed hers two years later and went to Cockermouth grammar. During the years culminating in 1948 (the war years)I recall Butter ere as being an idyllic place to have a childhood. School with our wonderful teacher Mrs Beattie was a real joy.Mrs Beattie travelled from Workington every day by miter bike.
