Powfoot

Today Powfoot is a quiet village on the Solway coast. But in the late 19th and early 20th centuries plans were laid to make it a grand holiday resort with hotels, formal gardens, woodland walks, a promenade, a pier, golf courses and bowling greens. The whole scheme eventually collapsed, though some of the attractions were actually built. Now the village is famous for its red brick housing and terraces, which look incongruous on the shores of the Solway but wouldn’t look out of place in Lancashire.
