BBC Website 8th October 2023. "....The back of a historic building in Cumbria has collapsed into a river. The Grade II-listed Old Courthouse in Cockermouth, which sits on the River Cocker, was damaged at about 05:00 BST. The Environment Agency said although the collapse happened near its flood walls, they remained "intact" and the town's flood risk had not increased. Cumberland Council said there were no reports of any injuries but Cocker Bridge had been closed as a precaution while assessments were carried out. .....In 2021, the site was evacuated after heavy rain left its rear wall on the verge of collapse. It has not been used since. The building, which is about 190 years old and housed the The Honest Lawyer restaurant, was sold at auction in 2022...." -
