This photo was donated to Lancashire Libraries in 1999.
The accompanying letter contained the following information:
"Lunefield was designed by Alfred Waterhouse for my great grandfather Alfred Harris.His youngest daughter married my grandfather in 1898 and I think this photo shows the dutiful son-in-law helping with the harvest, as the man in the centre receiving the drink looks very much like him"

Lunefield was constructed in the 1860s, in Kirkby Lonsdale, for Alfred Harris, a banker from Bradford.

The house was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the Gothic Revival architect. Willliam Morris and Company supplied stained glass windows designed by Edward Burne Jones.

After World War Two Lunefield fell into decline and was eventually demolished in 1958

One of the original entrance gateposts to Lunefield can still be seen near Devil's Bridge in Kirkby Londsdale.
