Our History
Whitehaven, a Georgian town on the North West Cumbrian coast, originated in 1633 as a small fishing village and evolved into the United Kingdom’s third-largest trading port, exporting coal across the globe. The harbour also became a hub for shipbuilding, with over 1,000 vessels constructed locally.
