WORKINGTON


Workington is another town with a gritty industrial past. It was put on the map because of its deep coal mining.   Rails made there were exported all over the world. That is all in the past and Workington is now a very different community … but with a proud industrial heritage. Discover more about its fascinating story in the Gallery.
