Description: Old sea lock on the Carlisle Canal Port Carlisle was constructed in the 19th century to provide a deep-water port for Carlisle. A canal was constructed from here to Carlisle, completed in 1823, but was closed after only 30 years. The port did not flourish and is now just a ruin. The Scottish shore can be seen on the far side of the Solway Firth.
