Maryport Walk: Town Centre & Harbour【4K】
Located on the west coast of Cumbria (although historically in Cumberland), and around 25 miles southwest of Carlisle, is the town of Maryport.
The known history of Maryport dates back to circa 122 AD when a Roman fort, allegedly known as Alauna, stood just north of where the town centre is today. This was during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, and it is suspected that the fort was a command and supply base for the coastal defences at the western end of Hadrian's Wall. By the early 5th century it was deserted due to the Roman withdrawal of Britain.
From the late 17th century or earlier the settlement was a small fishing village known as Ellenfoot, in reference to its position at the mouth of the River Ellen. In the mid 18th century local landowner Humphrey Senhouse began developing it as a port, and in 1749 an Act of Parliament was passed allowing the creation of the town. Senhouse named it after his wife, Mary.
The transformation of Maryport followed the precedent of the town of Whitehaven around 12 miles to the south, which had been developed into a thriving port town just over a hundred years earlier. In a similar vein to Whitehaven, Maryport adopted a grid layout of streets. A harbour was built with the purpose of exporting locally mined coals to Ireland. The first shipyard opened in 1765, followed by a second in 1780 and a third in 1810. Both the coal and shipbuilding industries brought in an age of prosperity for Maryport, and in 1816 wooden piers were added allowing larger coal ships to be offloaded in the port.
In 1840 the Maryport and Carlisle Railway established a rail connection in the town. Its engineer was none other than the Father of the Railways, George Stephenson. This line made the transportation of coal much easier, particularly from inland collieries.
During the latter half of the 19th century two docks were established at Maryport: the Elizabeth Dock in 1857, and the Senhouse Dock in 1884. With the addition of these two docks, larger vessels were able to trade at Maryport.
The early 20th century saw an end to Maryport's golden age of industry. In 1914 the last ship built in the town was launched. The coal and iron industries fell into decline and the port became overshadowed by a rival port in the neighbouring town of Workington. In recent years a series of regeneration projects have helped to revitalise the town to some extent.
In 1974 the historical counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, along with the Furness Peninsula of Lancashire, merged to form the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Since then, Maryport has been part of the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria.

Experience the independent spirit of this unique little market town in South Lakeland, Cumbria.
Ulverston is a rewarding tourist destination and an even better place to live, boasting a thriving cultural scene and an enviable setting between the glistening expanse of Morecambe Bay and the drama of the Lake District fells. Is there a more perfect town in the whole of Cumbria (or am I just biased as it's my local town)?!

Taking a look around Maryport Harbour and promenade
A little tour of the 'touristy' bit of Maryport. Excuse my lack of proper local knowledge. I've only lived here for two years. If there's anything I missed, feel free to comment about it below and maybe I will remake this video when I get better at it and work out how to get rid of the wind!
I decided to make this video because I lives 15 minutes away for ten years and never realised how nice the place was, so here's my way of bigging the place up. It's a shame the tide was right in so we couldn't see the beach but it made the harbour look pretty good.
