Description
Whitehaven in 50 Buildings by Pat Dargan explores the history and architecture of this Cumbrian town through its most interesting buildings and structures. From the Georgian planned town to the historic houses, shops, churches, and industrial heritage sites, the book showcases the changes that have taken place over the years. The town's transformation from a small fishing village to a thriving port, with a new town built on a grid system, is revealed through its many listed buildings. The harbour, colliery, and railway all feature in the book, alongside the Old Fort and Whitehaven Castle, which later became the hospital. Today, the harbour has been regenerated, and the old colliery buildings have been preserved as a museum. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Whitehaven's history and architecture, particularly those who live in or near the town.
