The winter of 1962-63 saw some extraordinary sights across Cumbria and beyond.
The big freeze started on Boxing Day and lasted until March.
Herald reader Miles MacInnes remembers crossing a frozen Ullswater from Watermillock to Sharrow Bay and Gay Parkin took her horse for a walk on the frozen lake.
Thanks to Gay and Miles for sharing their photos of the Big Freeze and the Ullswater Heritage Knowledge Bank where these images were first published.
