Villages by the Sea
Port Carlisle
Season 4 Episode 2 of 10
Archaeologist Ben Robinson examines the remains of a lost harbour in Port Carlisle, Cumbria, a small village near Carlisle that grew as a consequence of the canal-building surge that swept the nation. For a very short time, it was a thriving port with ambitions to rival Liverpool, but its canal was soon overtaken by the advent of the railways
