Number 42. This view of Ambleside is from a lime-kiln near the junction of the rivers Brathay and Rothay; a place where pleasure-boats for the use of the lake are moored. Langdale slate is sent in small craft from the landing to the foot of the lake, whence it is taken below Backbarrow, to be conveyed by water to Liverpool, Manchester, and other places. The Bridge in this view is across the Rothay, and is called Rothay Bridge. The high mountain is Scandale Fell. |
