Bardsea Village from Birkrigg
Early 20th century
Looking east across a wood from a rural raised point to the west of the village (possibly near the Birkrigg Stone Circle) at Bardsea, spread out towards the coast beyond. The village, with many wooded areas surrounding it, looks neat in the late afternoon sunshine and Holy Trinity church with its spire is prominent. The Leven estuary spreads out with the Holker area beyond and raised ground near Silverdale evident beyond that. The tide is neither in nor out and the trees on Chapel Island stand out in mid-estuary.

| Date Posted: | Birkrigg is a 'common' between Morecambe Bay and Ulverston, used extensively for the grazing of sheep. It is a popular area for walking, with extensive views of the surrounding area. Bardsea is a small village on the edge of Morecambe Bay, just off the main Coast Road between Barrow and Ulverston. It's most prominent building is the church, which is prominent in the photo. | |
