Coal was the very bedrock on which the town of Whitehaven was built, the trade in coal with Dublin starting after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Shipping ever increasing quantities of coal to Ireland brought another industry to the town - shipbuilding. In the seventeenth century, the Whitehaven Pottery began, local coal firing the kilns.
