- In 1904 bouwde de firma Harrison & Harrison een geheel nieuw pneumatisch orgel voor Saint Nicholas' Church aan Lowther Street in Whitehaven. Het verving een orgel dat terug ging naar John Snetzler, die in 1779 het eerste orgel voor de kerk bouwde, maar dat ingrijpend was verbouwd. Adviseur bij de bouw was George Dixon.
- Door een uitslaande brand op 1 september 1971 is het orgel verloren gegaan. Van het kerkgebouw staan de toren met de zijkapellen en enkele restanten van het koor en de fundamenten nog overeind. De kerk is verder niet meer herbouwd.
