Gentleman's Magazine 1751 p.51
On the way to the black lead mines, Seathwaite. "... From Wigton, in about 3 hours, we arrived at Orthwaite, a small village under mount Skiddow. ... A sudden storm of rain obliged us to take shelter in a little alehouse at this place, and an uninterrupted series of bad weather kept us prisoners near a week; however as the neighbouring clergymen charitably visited us every day, we did not much suffer by our confinement. ..."
