Bridge House, Ambleside
Bridge House by Rydal Road in Ambleside was originally built in the late 17th century by the Braithwaite family to access their lands on the other side of Stock Ghyll (the stream which runs through Ambleside) and to store apples from their nearby orchards. The distinctive building has had a wide variety of uses over the years, including being a counting house for the mills of Rattle Ghyll, a tea-room, a weaving shop, a cobbler's, a chair maker's. At one time the tiny building was a home to a family of eight![1] Bridge House is owned by the National Trust and is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
