Ben Robinson explores the remains of a lost harbour in Port Carlisle, a once-thriving port that hoped to rival Liverpool.

Ben Robinson examines the remains of a lost harbour in Port Carlisle, Cumbria, a small village near Carlisle which grew as a consequence of the canal building surge that swept the nation.

For a very short time, this village was a thriving port with ambitions to rival Liverpool. It welcomed tourists, but its canal was soon overtaken by the advent of the railways. Ben goes on to discover the cauldron-like original boiler behind the Victorian bath house.
