Background
History
In 1819, a port was constructed at Port Carlisle and in 1821, the Carlisle Navigation Canal was built to take goods to Carlisle. The canal was closed in 1853, when the Port Carlisle Railway Company filled in part of it to construct a railway that began passenger service in 1854. However, the railway discontinued passenger service two years later, when the Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway & Dock Company opened a new line to Silloth, using the Port Carlisle Branch as far as Drumburgh.
