CCHT external link

This link was added to the article after discussion on the WP Reliable Sources Noticeboard. See: WP:RSN exercise. No information from the CCHT link has been put into the body of the article in the form of citations because it has not yet been verified for 100% accuracy by the Victoria County History project for Cumbria. (This will take some years to do). Laplacemat (talk) 10:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Black Sabbath

While I appreciate the sensitive timing of this, would it be worth mentioning that Black Sabbath's first gig under that name was in Workington? (26-Aug-1968 at the Banklands Youth Club) Morogth (talk) 20:01, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
