LITTLE IRELANDCleator Moor is a
town in West Cumbria, UK, which was born from the ancient village of Cleator. In the beginning, the moorland of Cleator was barren with a few farms tending the stark land. In the 17th Century, Iron Ore was first extracted from beneath the ground, bringing about a huge revolution that helped modernise industry across the globe. Prosperity gave birth to the town of Cleator Moor. Thousands came to the town looking for work - many were from Ireland, fleeing a devastating potato famine. The Irish Diaspora gave rise to the moniker, Little Ireland.
