Joseph Lowe was a renowned and prolific photographer, who lived in Patterdale between the early 1890’s and 1934. He is best known for his landscape photographs of the Lake District, particularly of Ullswater and Patterdale, many of which were sold as post-cards to tourists. He also recorded many events in the dale, such as the flood damage in Glenridding when Keppel Cove Dam burst in 1927 and at various sporting events. From the numbering system he used, it would seem that he may have produced over 4,400 different photographs. In this section we have created an index of those that we know about (over 500 so far) and, where we have a copy of the picture, shown a thumbnail that can be clicked on to show a larger view. The estimated dates are largely derived from the postmarks on the cards.
