Millom was a small village centred on Holy Trinity Church and Millom Castle until the 19th century. The modern town developed following the opening of Millom Ironworks in 1866. Built around the ironworks, the town subsumed the village of Holborn Hill and grew to a size of over 10,000 people by the 1960s, but has struggled since the works were closed in 1968. Culturally, Millom is notable as the birthplace of poet Norman Nicholson, and for its historical links with rugby league.
