I was lucky enough to obtain these genuine old photographs (not postcards) of Cumbria from a time when it was most likely known as Westmorland and Cumberland, two separate identities.

The previous owner had carefully listed the pictures in a photograph album from long ago, probably as a reminder of an enjoyed holiday or field trip. Whoever they belonged to certainly managed to get about a bit and do some serious photography.
