Time doesn’t stand still for no man, nor does Cockermouth judging from my wee foray today. We are all re-discovering, re-connecting and re-engaging with our local towns and local places, now more than ever and what a delight it is for those returning to Cockermouth, for some it’s the first time in years.
But that didn’t stop progress and seeing the town as it is now is nothing but amazing.Ĭovid and the devastation it brought did leave positives in its wake, one such positive is folk from West Cumbria and further afield who used to shop, eat and drink here regularly are returning in their droves. As the town was more or less closed for some time, people who used to visit regularly, went elsewhere. I remember those days so well, no matter what the local traders did, they were always playing catch up. However, the town, its people and most importantly the local business owners were not going down without a fight, and fight they did.ĭespite funding to help get the town back on its feet with a variety of funding programmes, incentives and initiatives, it was a battle to change people’s shopping habits and encouraging folk to return from further afield was nothing but hard work. The town has had a rough time over the last 11 years, we all know about the floods, followed by more flooding. Welcome to Cockermouth… Is Cockermouth the most colourful town in Cumbria? Absolutely!Ĭockermouth is a stunning Georgian Gem that seems to look better with each passing year.
