More about this scene
The clock tower dominates the main street of this West Cumberland town. The town stands where the Cocker and Derwent rivers join their courses – the word 'mot', part of the town's name, means 'meeting of the waters'. Cockermouth was granted its market charter in 1221, and gradually developed in importance, until it was the chief commercial centre of the old county of Cumberland.
