The region around Workington has for quite some time been a maker of coal and steel. Between AD 79 and AD 122, Roman fortresses, mile-fortifications and watchtowers were built up along the Cumbrian coast. They were seaside barriers against assaults by the Scoti from Ireland and by the Caledonii, the most intense clan in what is presently Scotland. The sixteenth century Britannia, composed by William Camden depicts remnants of the waterfront guards at Workington. A Viking sword was found at Northside, or, in other words show that there was a settlement at the stream's mouth. In 2009 a few scaffolds were harmed or crushed by the River Derwent amid the 2009 surges.
