In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newby Bridge like this:
NEWBY-BRIDGE, a village partly in Staveley township, Cartmel parish, Lancashire; on the river Leven, immediately below its efflux from Windermere, and at the foot of a wooded hill, amid charming scenery, 8 miles N E of Ulverstone. It has a post-office under Newton-in-Cartmel, and a good inn; and it commands a fineview of Windermere. Coaches run from it to the r. stations of Ulverstone and Grange; and steamers connectit, up Windermere, with all landing-places on that lake.
