Listed buildings in Whitehaven

Whitehaven is a town and civil parish in the Cumberland district, Cumbria, England.

Whitehaven is a natural port, and the harbour developed in the 17th century mainly for the export of coal from the local mines.

During the 18th century the harbour expanded and the town was laid out in a grid plan, often with a building such as a church at the end to provide a vista.

During the 20th century the amount of work done by the port declined, and the export of coal finally ended in the 1980s.
