About Fencing in Workington
Workington in Cumbria has a notable connection to Mary Queen of Scots, who landed here in 1568 after fleeing defeat at the Battle of Langside, disguised as an ordinary woman, and spent her first night in England as an honoured guest of the Curwen family at Workington Hall, a building with origins dating back to 1362. The town later transformed from a modest fishing village into a major industrial centre after docks were built in the 16th century to export locally mined coal, and its steel industry was revolutionised when the Bessemer Converter was brought into use at the Moss Bay works, with rails produced there exported to railways all over the world.
