More about this scene
On the summit of Castle Crag, in the centre of the photograph, are the remains of an early British fort. All the buildings in this view, including the farm at Flake How seen here to the left, were demolished before the flooding of the valley. Gone too is Measand Beck Hall which was close by. Here the Penrith-born artist Jacob Thompson had often stayed with the Blands while on his painting trips to the area.
