More about this scene
Here we see the bridge over the River Greta in the busy little market town of Keswick in the northern Lakes. In the distance, on the left of the photograph, can be seen part of Greta Hall, the former home of the poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. Pencil making was one of Keswick's major industries, founded on supplies of plumbago, or black lead, from the Seathwaite valley in Borrowdale. The works of one pencil manufacturer, A Banks, are on the right.
