A new website has been launched to capture the lives of everyday people in Furness communities over the centuries.
The website, created by volunteers, including schoolchildren from Penny Bridge CE Academy, contains more than 500 photographs and pages detailing the unique history of these communities.
The research and interviews compiled provide information and personal recollections for the Egton with Newland, Mansriggs, and Osmotherley Parish Council Heritage Project.
The website covers areas such as Arrad Foot, Broughton Beck, Greenodd, Mansriggs, Newland, Penny Bridge, Plumpton, Rosside, and Spark Bridge.
It aims to provide a snapshot of the activities and life experiences of people in the past.
The subjects of the interviews include farms and family life, school and growing up, and industries such as iron foundries, textile manufacturing, shipping, and shipbuilding.
The site also captures how local people spent their rare leisure time, from playing sports to holidaying on the local beaches, where 'fluke-treading' in the shallow water allowed them to capture flatfish to supplement their packed lunches.
More than 70 people collaborated on the project, in addition to the 20 schoolchildren.
The children were equipped with a microphone and recorder to interview older residents and capture their memories.
These recollections appear alongside comprehensive articles from local history researchers.
Parish councillor Barbara Hind coordinated the work of the various volunteers and groups over a 12-month period and liaised with photographers and a professional website builder to populate the pages.
She said: "The aim was to capture all this fascinating detail and bring it together in a way that would make it accessible to everyone.
"Unfortunately, once older people pass on, this information can be lost forever, but at least some of those tales can now be seen and the histories of everyday people relived."
An event at Greenodd Village Hall brought together many of the people involved in the project to thank them for their support and celebrate the launch of the new website.
