"The inn at Ouzebridge is a convenient place to call at, and is pleasantly situated on the edge of the Lake: It is a very good new building, erected purposely for the convenience of travellers by the late Mr Spedding of Armathwaite; there is a very good dining-room and parlour, with a bow-window, which has a pretty look out, and very good stables, but hath been unfortunate in its tenants, (changing them often.) Here used to be held several meetings every year of the Justices of the Peace, for their private sessions; also county-courts, &c. Here also was held the first regatta in 1780," |
