About Workington - show infohide info

Workington is a town in the county of Cumbria, on the west coast of the United Kingdom. It has a population of approximately 19,884 inhabitants as of 2001. Workington is notable for being the first location that Mary, Queen of Scots, landed in after fleeing from Scotland after defeat in the Battle of Langside. After crossing the Solway Firth, she landed close to Workington and spent the night as an honoured guest in Workington Hall, though she soon moved to Carlisle Castle. As with nearby Whitehaven, Workington was built on the coal mining and steel production industries, and a port was developed to export the products. The insult 'Jam Eater' is a derogatory term used among miners for nearby miners from Whitehaven, supposedly refering to the preference of sandwich filling. Today, the port of Workington is the busiest in Cumbria, with around 300 ship movements per year, with plenty of space for expansion. The port is connected by rail, and a number of companies make use of this connection. A Steel rail manufacturing plant exists in the town, and also sees railfreight carrying its products. The towns station sees services between Carlisle and Barrow, as well as some services to Carnforth, Lancaster and Preston via Barrow. The town used to be on the junction for the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith line, however this was closed during the 1960's by Dr Beeching, the route is now operated by bus services Nearby towns to Workington include Whitehaven, Maryport, Aspatria, Cockermouth, Penrith, Egremont, Seaton and Wigton.
