More about this scene

Agriculture in the 1950s had not changed much since the 19th century, and horses were still commonly used on the land. This scene, showing the loading of a hay wagon on the shores of Buttermere, with Honister Crag and Fleetwith Pike prominent in the background, demonstrates that timeless way of life.

An extract from Lake District Photographic Memories.

Buttermere School
My sister Muriel and I attended buttermere school.I passedmy 11plus and went to Keswick school as a boarder.Muriel passed hers two years later and went to Cockermouth grammar. During the years culminating in 1948 (the war years)I recall Butter ere as being an idyllic place to have a childhood. School with our wonderful teacher Mrs Beattie was a real joy.Mrs Beattie travelled from Workington every day by miter bike.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. 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.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

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.
