More about this scene
Kendal—the 'Auld Grey Town' on the River Kent—was founded on wealth won from the wool of Lakeland sheep. Stricklandgate, the northern extension of Highgate, is one of Kendal's main thoroughfares. The name means 'the road leading to the stirk land', and was often referred to as the Drover's Road, where cattle were driven along from the north. This view, looking north, shows a traffic-free street.
