More about this scene

Victorian writers believed Crummock Water to be one of the most beautiful in the Lakes. The hills around were less wild and rugged, and its many inlets and headlands brought it a distinct individuality. Picknickers in a meadow in the hamlet of Loweswater are enjoying the splendid view north up the lake. The lower slopes of Grasmoor are prominent on the left, and the skyline is filled by Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks and High Crag. The small dark hill in the middle distance above the lake is Rannerdale Knotts.

Add a memory of this photo

Rose Cottage, Loweswater
The cottage nestling in the foreground was purchased from the White family in 1986 by my parents. Between the vicarage and smithy it was built in 1780, and from 1782 the curate's school before moving up the hill to the new building (now village hall) in 1839. It has been a home to a post office messenger (Thomas Sancton 1881 census) and also Bella, who ran it as a sweetshop in the '70s. For the last twenty years it has been let as self-catering holiday-let accommodation.

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
