Print, The Last House in England, Near Gretna Green,
Kirkandrews, Cumberland, drawn by William Henry Nutter,
engraved by G C Thurnam, 1850s.
View of a small thatched cottage standing on a hillock
beside a river or estuary which lies to left of composition.
A bank of flowers lies in the foreground. An elderly woman
walks along the path leading to the cottage door; a child
stands in the doorway watching her approach.
Which 'last house' rather depends on your route; if it is
the old route to Sark Bridge this could be Guards Cottage?
