Port Carlisle


Cumbria

  • Description

    "For a period in the 19th century Port Carlisle was a thriving port - the highest point on the Solway Firth reachable by 100 ton ships. To provide a connection to Carlisle itself a canal was built; the remains of the lock structure can be seen here in the foreground. However, by the 1870s - even though by then the canal had been replaced by a railway - the port had fallen into disuse ." Photo by Stephen McKay, 2014.
