Whitehaven
|
|
|
WHITEHAVEN is a well-built town. During the last century, it
has risen into importance in consequence of its vicinity to
the extensive coal-mines of the Earl of Lonsdale. The
harbour is large and safe, being protected by an extensive
pier, built after a design by Sir John Rennie. Upwards of
140,000 chaldrons of coals are annually exported.
