Former United Reformed Church
Seen across the end of Water Street car park (with recycling facilities on the right). The former manse, with grey rendered walls, adjoins the red sandstone church. The front of the building is shown here Image .
The church opened in 1834, and was one of the largest Nonconformist places of worship in West Cumbria. A dwindling congregation and expense of upkeep led to the last service being held in 2009, and the church put up for sale. The new owners of the grade II listed building plan to transform it into a computer museum and science & engineering centre http://t-lcarchive.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1191&Itemid=472 .

The industrial building on the left looks interesting.

Joinery, Birdcage Walk, Wigton
A plaque on the side states that this building is a former 18C watermill, which was working up to the 1920s. However the plan on the plaque suggest that the mill was behind Southward House on the right.
