Peat cutters' huts on the Old Corpse Road, Haweswater
Stone built peat cutters' huts on the Old Corpse Road above Haweswater in the Lake District, Cumbria.
Before Holy Trinity Church in Mardale Green got its own cemetry, the dead had to be carried from Mardale, over the tops to Swindale Head, and then on to Shap for burial. The last body to be carried along the Corpse Road was John Holme in 1736.
The hamlet of Mardale Green was flooded in the 1930s when the reservoir was built. It lay at the head of the valley, behind the huts in the photo.
