Egremont Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cumbria (although historically in Cumberland), and around 40 miles southwest of Carlisle, is the town of Egremont.
The known history of Egremont goes back to the 10th century when the Danes established a fort beside the River Ehen on the site of what later became Egremont Castle. In 1092 William II (a.k.a. William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror) took control of Cumberland which had previously been claimed by the Scots. A castle was built here, and later replaced in the 12th century with 13th century additions.
Egremont was granted a market charter in 1266 or 1267 (various sources give contradictory dates) during the reign of Henry III. It was in 1267 that the first Egremont Crab Fair took place, making it one of the oldest fairs in the world. The lord of Egremont started a tradition of giving away crab apples, from where it gets its name. Each annual fair consists of both modern and traditional events. One such notable event is the World Gurning Championships, where entrants put their head through a horse collar and compete to pull their best (or worst?) face!
In 1322 many were killed when the Scottish king Robert the Bruce sacked Egremont. The castle would eventually fall into ruin by the 16th century.
Early industries in Egremont included agriculture, weaving and dyeing. With the discovery of iron ore in the surrounding area, mining and quarrying became established industries in the town. By the 1830s there were several iron ore mining sites in the surrounding area.
In 1857 a railway station opened at Egremont. This was a branch of the Cumbrian Coast Line, connecting to Whitehaven, where iron ore was transported. Due to the gradual decline of the mining industry in the 20th century, the station closed to passengers in 1935. Between 1947 and 1965 it had reopened, but only for the use of workmen's trains. Today the main public transport connection is a bus route running between Egremont and Maryport via Whitehaven and Workington.
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, Egremont has been part of the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria.
In 1982 rock band It Bites formed in Egremont. They are best known for their 1986 hit Calling All the Heroes.

Whitehaven Walk: Town Centre & Harbour【4K】
Located on the west coast of Cumbria (although historically in Cumberland), and around 35 miles southwest of Carlisle, is the town of Whitehaven.
From around 1120 the Priory of St Bees owned the small fishing village of Whitehaven, up until the priory's closure in 1539 as part of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1630 the merchant Christopher Lowther purchased the monasterial estate and began to transform Whitehaven into a port town.
In 1634 the first quay was built, which was originally used for the export of salt and coal to Ireland. Christopher Lowther's son John acquired a market charter for Whitehaven in 1660. A phase of urban expansion began in the 1680s when the rectangular grid of streets that makes up the town today was first laid out.
By the beginning of the 18th century, Whitehaven was importing large quantities of tobacco from Virginia and Maryland in exchange for manufactured goods. To keep up with trade, a second quay was built. It is claimed that, by the mid 18th century, Whitehaven had the deepest coal mines in the world, and was the second busiest port of England by tonnage behind London.
In 1778 the last invasion of England occurred when Scottish-born U.S. navy commander John Paul Jones raided Whitehaven. He knew the town well since he had started his career as an apprentice here at the age of thirteen. During the raid, Jones began to set fire to the wooden ships in the harbour. A fire alert was sounded and large numbers of people came running to the quay where they forced the Americans to retreat, and managed to extinguish the flames.
In 1847 the railway arrived in Whitehaven. The station was opened by the Whitehaven Junction Railway as the terminus of their line from Maryport. Today it is situated on the Cumbrian Coast Line which runs from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness.
The coming of the railways effectively brought about Whitehaven's decline as a port since its initial advantage was its proximity to the coalfields. Other ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow outgrew Whitehaven around the 19th century since they could, by this point, transport coal by rail. By the 1980s coal mining in Whitehaven had ceased entirely with the closure of the last mine - Haig colliery. Today the main industry in the town is the nearby Sellafield nuclear complex.
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, Whitehaven has been part of the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria.
Whitehaven is represented in sport by rugby league team Whitehaven R.L.F.C. They play their home games at the Recreation Ground.
