Mount Pleasant Steps
These steps from the top of Mount Pleasant down to the quayside used to provide access to what was described in the 19th century as "a congregation of most wretched dwellings situated on the side of a hill". At that time there were at least 1800 inhabitants living here in squalid conditions.

Duke Pit, Whitehaven
Fan house of 1869-70 that housed a 36' diameter Guibal fan from 1870. A rare survivor. This is the only building on the site. This is high above the harbour and this is visible just behind the left-hand edge. There was an earlier 8' diameter fan of 1836 in a building that was just behind this and is long gone (supplementary information via e-mail).
