Archive photos from the 1980’s
Previous to 1988 the cottage and grounds belonged to North West Water (now United Utilities) and previous to that it was a traditional lakeland farm house. From the late 1980’s Tower Wood Cottage was given the loving attention it deserved having been long neglected and left to the elements. Dating back to around 1750 the cottage was still resting on its original stone foundations but needed renovating to bring it into the modern world.
What followed was a labour of love by our family and friends to restore this beautiful listed lakeland cottage and the surrounding grounds into the place that it is today for all to enjoy. Here are some archive photos from the 1980’s to enjoy.
