Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mosedale like this:

MOSEDALE, a glen on the mutual border of Cumberland and Lancashire; forming the upper part of Seathwaite valley, along the river Duddon; descending south-south-westward, from the W side of Weatherlam; and flanked, on the right, by Greyfriars mountain,-on the left, by the Old Man of Coniston.
