| The Cumbrian town of Cockermouth was hit by devastating floods in 2009 which made the national news, but after a lot of effort and a good deal of local spirit and determination, you would never have guessed that it had been flooded at all. This is Main Street, looking east. |

| The colourful painted buildings in Market Place. It reminds me of similar painted buildings in Ireland. |

| Looking in the other direction from Market Place towards the town. Sadly I didn't partake of the all day breakfast! |
 |
| The junction of Castlegate, Market Place and Main Street, the latter narrowing in the distance for the bridge over the River Cocker, from where the town gets its name. |
 |
| Cockermouth Town Hall. Note the impressive pair of lions guarding the entrance |
 |
| More colourful buildings. |
 |
| The advertising for 'Fletcher's Fearless Clothing' has been well preserved on the side of this building in Main Street. |

| A reminder of the floods in 2009. They were at least eight foot deep at this point. |
