*************

Silloth (sometimes known as Silloth-on-Solway) is a port town in Cumbria, England. It sits on the shoreline of the Solway Firth, 22 miles (36 km) west of Carlisle.

Historically a part of Cumberland, the town is a small holiday resort, developed in the 1860s around the terminus of a railway from Carlisle which had begun construction in 1855. For the first time, workers from the factories of Carlisle were presented with affordable access to the seaside and the town flourished as a destination for day trippers. After its heyday in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Silloth slipped into unfashionable disrepair, however recent years have seen a great deal of development with many of the sea facing properties having received long overdue facelifts. The main central attraction is a large expansive green that is utilised throughout the year to host various events and activities. Amenities include a championship golf course ranked amongst the country's topfifty golf courses, several hotels and bed and breakfasts, public houses, tea rooms and eateries.

Silloth's largest church is Christ Church, which is situated on Criffel Street and was completed in 1870.^[1] Several other churches and chapels of various denominations are also located within the town or its outskirts.
