Cockermouth
Cockermouth is an old market community as well as civil parish in the District of Allerdale in Cumbria, England, so named due to the fact that it is at the confluence of the River Cocker as it moves right into the River Derwent. The mid-2010 census quotes specify that Cockermouth has a population of 8,204, boosting to 8,761 at the 2011 Census. Historically a part of Cumberland, Cockermouth is situated outside the English Lake District on its northwest edge. Much of the architectural core of the community continues to be the same because the fundamental medieval design was completed the 18th and 19th centuries. The regenerated market place is now a main historical emphasis within the community and also reflects events from its 800-year history. The community is prone to flooding as well as experienced serious floods in 2005, 2009, and 2015.
