Port Carlisle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Carlisle is a fishing village at Carlisle, Cumbria, England, one mile from Bowness-on-Solway—grid reference NY241622.
Historically within Cumberland, its original name was Fishers Cross, and the port was built in 1819. Four years later, a canal link was added to take goods to Carlisle Basin. The canal was closed in 1853 and Port Carlisle silted up.
