Port Carlisle
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.

Houses in Port Carlisle
I am intrigued by the construction of these houses. There are few, if any, stones lying around, the whole are being mainly silt and sand. Were these stones part of Hadrian's Wall, which ran along here? If not, where did they come from? How did they avoid being used for previous buildings until the early 19th century?
