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.
