In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dalehead like this:
DALEHEAD, a place on the south border of Cumberland; adjacent to Thirlmere, 6 miles SSE of Keswick. It has a post office under Windermere. Dalehead Hall stands on the margin of Thirlmere; and Dalehead mountain, with a small tarn, sends down a streamlet to the lake's head.
Additional information about this locality is available for Castlerigg
