WORKINGTON, (Cumberland) on the coast, where the Darwent and Cocker run in one channel into the sea, is famous for the
trout and salmon, which are taken here, and carried instantly to London upon horses, which changing often, travel day and
night without intermission, and, as they say, out-go the post, so that the fish come to London very sweet. Here is a noble
seat of the Curwens, descended from a family in Galloway. All along from hence to the mouth of the Eln are found pieces of
a wall, which some think was made by the Roman general Stilico, when those coasts were infested by the Scots from Ireland.
