Brow Top Car Park
This is on an area of land between the town and River Derwent, called the Cloffocks. Plans have been approved to build a Tesco Extra superstore on the spot below, with a car park covering much of the grassy area beyond. The development is highly controversial because the Cloffocks has traditionally been used for recreation, most famously the annual "Uppies and Downies" mass football game http://www.uppiesanddownies.info/index.html .

Carnegie Theatre and Arts Centre, Workington
The theatre was originally a hall, and the arts centre was a library, opened in 1904. This is recorded on a plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2095969 inside the arts centre, part of which is now used as a community cafe (brilliant chips).
The library and hall were "built by the munificence of Andrew Carnegie...who gave £7,500 for the purpose". Carnegie was a Scot who became a steel magnate in the USA, later donating vast sums for philanthropic work http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAcarnegie.htm . This included the building of some 3,000 libraries in the English-speaking world.

Former post office, Workington
The building dates from c. 1915 and was designed by Office of Works architect Charles Wilkinson. Like many an urban post office it no longer performs its original function having been converted into a betting shop. A particular feature of the building is the presence of the Royal coat of arms on the second floor.
