Description
English: Photographer: Andy V Byers. Friday morning before high tide at 1.36pm. The River Derwent overflows onto its flood plain.

Over thousands of years the Derwent has cut out the high banks on the right and the left of the image. During Neolithic and Roman times the river may have occupied the whole area shown.

Originally both Mill Field and Curwen Park were part of the flood plain known as the Cloffocks.

During the 'Enclosure' of common lands both were acquired by the Curwen family. They created a private park and locals were denied access until the the mid-twentieth century.

Many locals are unaware that they form an important part of the ancient Cloffocks of Workington.
