Northern Exile
I've been reading up on Roman history just lately, quite astounding that Ravenglass was their primary port access into northern Britain at the time. Bloody Romans. |

You've got to feel that the soldiers that were sent to Hardknott fort for duty must have done something wrong..!

'Interesting' is itself an interesting description of Cleator Moor - unless it's been calmed down somewhat in the several years since I was last over that way

I loved the Crap Towns description of the inhabitants of Cleator Moor as being like tumbleweeds, though when I did locum work there I found them rather less welcoming than tumbleweeds. But it has a Co-op.

"Cleator Moor is the second most affordable town in the UK, according to recent figures released by estate agents, Zoopla." "Coun. Oliver Dorgan of Cleator Moor said of the news: “That’s excellent to hear. Cleator moor has a lot going for it. I would advise anyone to come and live here." newsandstar.co.uk |

I think councillor Dorgan is missing the subtext. Or works in marketing.

I like Councillor Dorgan’s take on his town …but you’re probably right..PR and/or marketing

W Wool…if Broughton in Furness was close enough..that would get my vote. Easy for Coniston range as well.
