Windermere Bridge House l Ambleside l Walking Tour journey from Lancaster l Part 1 l 2024

Assalamualaikum,
Today we are walking to Bridge House, Ambleside.
Bridge House is possibly the most photographed building in the Lake District, and a popular subject for many artists including Turner.
A tiny building, originally an apple store for nearby Ambleside Hall, was built over Stock Beck to escape land tax.
Once five mills were driven by the power of Stock Beck and some may still be seen nearby. It is said that at some time a family with six children lived here in the two rooms.
The Braithwaite family were very influential and originally built Bridge House to access their lands on the other side of Stock Beck and store apples from their nearby orchards.
Bridge House, Ambleside, was built over the Stock Ghyll to avoid land tax.
Originally designed as an apple store, it was later used as a house, an information centre and now a shop for the National Trust.
The growth of Old Ambleside is associated with a succession of families dating back to the early 14th century. The Braithwaite family were very influential and originally built Bridge House to access their lands on the other side of Stock Beck and store apples from their nearby orchards.
A 17th century survivor
Bridge House has remarkably survived throughout the centuries as Ambleside has changed and developed around it.
Its survival could be down to its many practical uses over the years which include being a counting house for the mills of Rattle Ghyll, a tea-room, weaving shop, cobbler's, chair maker's and, at one time, home to a family of eight.
In 1926 a group of local people, including the wife of National Trust founder Canon Rawnsley and William Wordsworth's grandson, raised funds to purchase the building it was then given into the care of the National Trust. It was formerly used as the National Trust's first information and recruitment centre, and now serves as a National Trust shop.

Kelangsungan hidupnya mungkin disebabkan oleh banyak kegunaan praktisnya selama bertahun-tahun, termasuk sebagai rumah hitung untuk pabrik Rattle Ghyll, ruang teh, toko tenun, tukang sepatu, pembuat kursi, dan, pada suatu waktu, rumah bagi sebuah keluarga beranggotakan delapan orang. .
