The tide is ebbing, leaving the myriad of little creeks on the Solway at Port Carlisle to catch the setting sun.
This once busy and prosperous little port, linked by canal to the city of Carlisle with barges carrying goods from the city, and for goods and coal in the other direction.
Little is left but Port Carlisle was also home to a steamer carrying people away from Cumberland – to Scotland, the Isle of Man or Ireland or further, emigrating from Liverpool to America.
