History
Historically, the city was formed near metallurgical enterprises. Earlier, iron mines were located on the territory of the city, intensive ore mining led to land failures in the city. An entire area of the city was destroyed due to subsidence of the soil, part of the railway was forced to be transferred to another locality.
The influx of Irish workers gave the city the nickname “Little Ireland,” the presence of the Irish had previously provoked a conflict between adherents of the Catholic and Protestant churches in the city.
Due to the decline of the traditional iron ore industry, a large part of the city’s population depends on tourism and the nuclear center in Sellafield , which employs about half of the city’s population.
