Workington is an industrial town and port situated on the west coast of Cumbria, England, at the mouth of the River Derwent. The town's history is deeply rooted in its industrial heritage, particularly in iron and steel production, coal mining, and shipping.

Originally a small fishing village, Workington grew significantly during the Industrial Revolution when it became an important center for coal exports and steel manufacturing. Today, while some industry remains, the town has evolved to embrace more diverse economic activities.

The Helena Thompson Museum, housed in Park End Road, showcases the town's rich history and cultural heritage, featuring collections that span from the Roman period to the present day. The town center maintains its traditional market town character, with various historical buildings reflecting its industrial past.
