In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Cark like this:
CARK, a village on the west coast of Morecambe bay in Lancashire; 2 miles SW by S of Cartmel. It has a post office under Newton-in-Cartmel, and a station, jointly with Cartmel, on the Ulverstone and Lancaster railway; and a public coach runs daily from it to Newby Bridge.
Cark is now part of WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Cark itself, go to Statistics.
