Whitehaven is the same (not my town, but where I was born) ...full of history, magnificent 18th century houses and Sellafield ruining the town centre with modern buildings that look horrendous...   So much seafaring history and blighted by eyesores

yes

Those carvings look more like something nicked from the monastery after Dissolution than original to the date of the house...even though the monastery went under at the earlier date
