A nice bit of pargeting on Finkle Street in Workington. Unsurprisingly the pub has been renamed as 'Vinnie's Bar'.

The Holmen Iggesund integrated pulp and paperboard mill at Workington. Bleached mechanical pulp is processed to suit the special demands of paperboard manufacture and is combined with purchased bleached chemical pulp into a multi-layered board construction which is ideally suited to the demands of modern paperboard packaging. Under the trade name 'Incada' folding board from the mill is used in packaging for confectionery, cosmetics, wine, spirits, frozen and dried foods and tobacco products, plus greetings cards and covers. Other products incluse fibre based ready-made food packaging and specialist card for a range of applications and printing techniques. Since 2013 it has been powered entirely by biofuels including locally grown willow.

The towers of the former Trinity Methodist Church and Carnegie Arts Centre dominate Lismore Place in Workington. The church retains only the tower and facade with the main building replaced by a new structure containing assisted living flats. The Carnegie Theatre and Arts Centre is one of Workington's much-loved buildings. The Foundation Stone for the 'Carnegie Free Library & Lecture Hall' was laid by his Worship The Mayor, Alderman R E Highton on Thursday 10 September 1903. The building opened on Thursday 6 October 1904 following a donation of £7,500 from Andrew Carnegie. It is now run by a charitable trust.

This plastics manufacturing plant at Siddick was opened by Eastman Kodak in the early 1980s and was later acquired by Indorama Ventures PCL. It produced around 160,000 tonnes pa of PET granules. mainly used in the forming of plastic bottles. As Asian competition increased the plant became uneconomic and production was first halved and then stopped completely in early 2014. The site was mothballed in hope of better times until Indorama decided in 2017 that it would not reopen. Demolition was completed during 2018.
