The popular Lake District beauty spot of Tarn Hows is a corner of England that will be forever Yorkshire.
It was largely the idea and creation of James Garth Marshall, son of the 19th century Leeds textiles multi-millionaire John Marshall. Marshall senior had begun life working in his father’s linen drapery business in Briggate, Leeds, but by seeing the potential in new machinery for flax spinning he turned the city into the world’s biggest centre for mass-produced linen. His factories in the Holbeck area of Leeds employed over 1,000 workers.
These were remodelled to make one small lake for the purpose of providing water for the estate’s sawmill, but after seeing the potential for creating a scenic landscape Marshall paid for clumps of trees to be planted in a carefully considered way to enhance the view over the lake to the rocky knolls and dramatic fells beyond.
