WORKINGTON, a sea-port of Cumberland, situated on the south
bank of the Derwent, has a good harbour, and an extensive
trade in coal, from the valuable collieries of Henry Curwen,
Esq., and several other collieries, many of which are at a
considerable distance. On the east side of the town is
Workington Hall, the manor-house of the ancient family of
Curwen, finely situated on an elevated position above the
river. It is remarkable as having afforded an asylum to the
unfortunate and persecuted Mary Queen of Scots, when she
landed at Workington. Population, 6415; market-day,
Wednesday; inns, Green Dragon, New Crown, and
King's Arms.
