Millers Bridge, also known as Harris Bridge, is a steel pedestrian bridge over the River Derwent in Cockermouth, Cumbria, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city. The original structure was destroyed by severe flooding in 2009, and the bridge was rebuilt in 2010 with modified foundations to address changes in the riverbank caused by erosion. The reopening by HRH The Princess Royal underscored the importance of this connection to the local community. As a functional infrastructure, the bridge not only provides pedestrian access but also views of the surrounding landscape.

Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.

The River Derwent in Cumbria is one of the most iconic rivers in Northwest England, with a course that is both geographically and culturally significant. Rising at Sprinkling Tarn in the highlands of the Lake District, the river flows north through the Borrowdale valley, crossing Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake. It then turns west, passing through Cockermouth—where William Wordsworth grew up—and empties into the Irish Sea at Workington.

Millers Bridge, as it is known in Cockermouth (official maps refer to it as Harris Bridge), was reopened in 2010 by HRH the Princess Royal after it had suffered severe damage in the 2009 floods and a section of it collapsed into the River Derwent. Part of the steel bridge had to be rebuilt to fit the new shape of the river banks, which were heavily eroded during the floods and have now been fortified.

Built on a high wooded knoll that formed much of the old town of Cockermouth and is now the east end of the town centre, All Saints is in two ways the high Anglican church in the town. There has been a church here since at least 1395 but an 11th century one was probably there earlier. A new church was built in 1771 as part of the expansion of the eighteenth century old town. That burnt down in 1850 and the current church was built in 1854.

This is the only road bridge crossing the River Derwent in Cockermouth. This bridge, known as Gote Bridge and built in 1822 carries the A5086 between Cockermouth and Papcastle. It survived the three recent floods in The town. There is also one footbridge just 200m upstream.

William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy were both born in this house (1770 & 1771 respectively) and lived here until 1783 when their father died. The house is now maintained by the National Trust though it narrowly avoided being demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a bus depot before the residents of Cockermouth objected. Only the desk in their father’s office is the family’s original 18th century furniture but the front part of the house has genuine 18th century furniture. The garden is superbly maintained by volunteers in a style appropriate for the time.

That a Christian place of worship is consecrated equal to "All Saints" (All Saints) is not so common, usually it is one (or at most two) named saints who are the patron saints of a church - and thus also of the community or village , in which this is located – possess. But in search of the origin – or historical models – one has to go far back into history, because a pagan custom can be regarded as original for this practice of dedicating to ALL SAINTS, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times, which generally were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON).
