Moor Row is a village positioned in North West England. It remains in Cumbria and lies on a small road off the A595 road south of Whitehaven. Moor Row is a residential community positioned in between Whitehaven as well as Egremont on Cumbria's coastal plain. The history of Moor Row returns to a minimum of 1762, however it was the 19th century discovery of iron ore in the vicinity that built the 'row of residences on a moor'. Cornish tin miners moved here to function the mines, and also their existence is kept in mind in a variety of road names such as Penzance Street. One street, Dalzell, is called after Thomas Henry Dalzell, a mine proprietor. The village name probably describes the Scalegill street homes, which are noted on an 1860 Ordnance Survey map. The 1859 houses on Dalzell Street are believed to be the oldest of the terraced rows. The village has actually grown in the 20th century, adding contemporary rural houses to the mixture and also is continuing to do so in the 21st century.
