Set into a beautiful linocut illustration, this original poem is about the rebuilding of Pooley Bridge, catching its new Eamont crossing, waiting Ullswater steamers, and the cosy street beneath Dunmallard. Anyone who fondly remembers tired, muddy dogs and hot tea after a fell walk will love this print on their wall.

Pooley Bridge

The river rose one winter night
And took the old stone bridge away;
A new one, bright and steel and light,
Now spans the Eamont where it lay.

Here Ullswater begins, or ends,
Depending on which way you're bound;
The steamer waits; the long lake bends
Away through fells, and out of sound.

And Dunmallard, with its crown of trees,
Stands guard above the little street,
Where tea is poured, and dogs at ease
Lie tired and muddy at our feet.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
