A Steamer Ride On Windermere
A Memory of Lakeside.
In April 2008 I went on holiday to the Lakes with my wife, Elizabeth, and we enjoyed a day's outing here. We first took a steam train from Haverthwaite through Newby Bridge to Lakeside where the steamer quay looks not much different from the view shown in this photo. Then we boarded a steamer which took us up the lake as far as Windermere. We disembarked for a couple of hours looking round the town while the steamer went on to Ambleside. Windermere now seems totally focussed on tourists and there was a wide choice of gifts, postcards and ice creams but rather a poor choice of groceries! However do the local residents survive?
We rejoined our steamer for its afternoon sailing back to Lakeside and thoroughly enjoyed our outing.
