'Windermere - The Big Freeze 1963'. Taken in the Bowness, Belle Isle, Cockshot point area
Yes- there's a nice few shots of the Bowness piers frozen in (at least, I think it's them) and a very good impression of 'we can count them seals'. Lots of them... And a man on a white horse.
Interesting that the beginning of the film is shots with no snow, bright sunshine and apparently a great deal of water on the ice. The later shots look more 'WH'ish. Lots of the sledges are basic 'Dixon' style, but there are a (very) few Beckfoot-style sledges, even if considerably shorter.
