Kirkgate is the old eighteenth century district of Cockermouth, close to All Saints Curch, where the houses were built to house the workforce for the many new mills being created in the town, particularly around the River Cocker and Bitter Beck.
There were many shops along Kirkgate. The windows still exist but the shops are all gone now, as the town centre moved to Main Street in Victoria times.
