Cockermouth
Cockermouth is an ancient market town and civil parish in the District of Allerdale in Cumbria, England, so called because it is at the assemblage of the River Cocker as it streams into the River Derwent. The mid-2010 census quotes state that Cockermouth has a population of 8,204, increasing to 8,761 at the 2011 Census. Historically a part of Cumberland, Cockermouth is positioned outside the English Lake District on its northwest fringe. Much of the architectural core of the community continues to be the same since the basic middle ages layout was completed the 18th as well as 19th centuries. The regenerated market location is currently a central historical focus within the community as well as mirrors occasions from its 800-year background. The town is prone to flooding as well as skilled extreme floods in 2005, 2009, as well as 2015.
