Port Carlisle consists mainly of a single street of Georgian houses. The village was built in 1819 as a port at the end of a canal intended as a convenient trading access between Carlisle and the Solway Firth, but it enjoyed only a brief heyday before it was eclipsed by the coming of the railways. The sign announces the impending opening of a new tea room.
