Old Shop Front, Whitehaven
This eyesore does nothing to enhance the appearance of Whitehaven's market square. The firm trades as a greengrocer from the premises next door, so it is unclear why this building has been allowed to deteriorate into this appalling condition.

Lowther Street
In the mid 18th century the street was laid for Sir James Lowther the 1st Earl of Lonsdale's wish to view the shipping in his new harbour from his local seat of Whitehaven Castle which is back up the street and the line of the street formed the base from which the town grew on a grid plan to make Whitehaven the earliest planned town after the middle ages.
