EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Rosthwaite Post office in Borrowdale, nestled within the picturesque Lake District. Taken around 1960 by the talented artist CM Dixon, this image showcases a historic building that has served as a vital hub for the local community. Once part of Cumberland county, Rosthwaite is an idyllic settlement surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The post office stands proudly amidst its surroundings, showcasing traditional English architecture with its stone exterior and charming cottage-like appearance. A man can be seen standing at the doorway, embodying the spirit of this close-knit village. The beauty of nature intertwines with human presence in this photograph - climbing plants gracefully adorn the walls of the building while walkers ramble through nearby trails. This image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects on how communication and postal services have been integral to rural communities like Rosthwaite. CM Dixon's skillful composition transports us back to a simpler era when life revolved around personal connections and natural wonders. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured on film, we are reminded of the enduring charm that small villages like Rosthwaite bring to our world today.
