Maryport - Fleming Square
Formally a market place, Fleming Square retains
its 18th century character with its stone cobbled central square,
surrounded by attractive Georgian and Victorian houses. The
history of the town however extends way beyond this era; the
Romans occupied this area and the site of their fort of Alauna
can be made out nearby. This was an important link to coastal
defences extending from Hadrian’s Wall to the north.
