Looking across the outlet of the lake. The A592 to Kirkstone Pass passes in front of the two cottages in the distance. The left hand one is in this square and a house name is inscribed Brothersfield Cottage 1781. The right hand one, outside the square, is Beetham Cottage dating from 1870.
My father remembers this house in Hartsop as being just up the lane from Thorn House, a similar building of the mid 17 century; possibly this house was owned by a bishop (C of E): this was in about 1940.
