Some Cleator Cottages

The village of Cleator, and nearby town of Cleator Moor, are some five miles southeast of Whitehaven, the port from which much of the iron ore, minerals and coal mined in the area were shipped. Though the history of Cleator includes traces of the Romans, with a Roman Road running through it, the 19th century was the heyday here. Iron ore deposits had been worked locally since the 12th century, but this surged during the Industrial Revolution. An iron works was built in Cleator Moor in 1840, and during the potato famine shortly after that there was a huge influx of Irish immigrants to the district to work in the industry, leading to Cleator Moorâ€™s local nickname â€œLittle Irelandâ€.
