A Wasdale Lad by Rob Steele: A pictorial history of Lakeland farming life. This book tells the story of a local lad growing up in West Cumberland in the late 1950s and 1960s. Full of amusing tales, the story provides the reader with an insight into life at that time. Illustrated with photographs throughout.

Fisherground - Living the Dream by Ian Hall: Travel back to the summer of 1976 and join four friends, plus their children, as they embark on an adventure in Eskdale, a Lakeland valley, pooling their resources in order to buy a fell farm. Share in the triumphs and failures, the laughter and tears, of life on the farm, as well as their own personal highs and lows of sharing a house and indeed - a life together. All in an attempt at 'living the dream'.

Racing the Wind - A Cumbrian Childhood by Patricia Nolan: Patricia Nolan takes us on a nostalgic journey back to 1950s Cumbria, where she grew up in a small community below England’s highest mountain, Scafell. Set amongst the beautiful Lakeland fells, this memoir spans three years of the author's life and transports the reader to a time where life looked very different from today. Explore the beauty of the landscape through words and photographs, the relationship Patricia had with her mother, as well as the community bond within the village.
