Old cars & buses by the Courts and Newtown.

A nice card of The Crescent in the 1930s or 40s. Park anywhere seems to be the order of the day. I think the cars on the left are taxis.






A very clean looking Carlisle in this card of the 1930s. Taxis are parked in front of the taxi-drivers restroom with the underground toilets just behind. Two proud parents are pushing their sprog towards the station.



A scene in the late 1920s, there appears to be quite a crowd of people gathering at the Crescent. A nice sunny day, all seats are taken in the gardens.

A little later this one, we're into the 1950s. Again the taxis are parked in front of the drivers rest hut and the shops on The Crescent are open for business.



Newtown Road from about The Pedestrian Arms. Date unknown but about 1910.

The little girl outside the 4th opening up is Nancy, the message on the card reads 'Dear Edie, have sent you photo of our house, the fourth door with Nancy standing at the bottom of the steps'. This block was originally named Clift Terrace, the sign is still above the nursery at the Infirmary end of the block.

Bower street is on the left, the shop is Henry Wood, Baker and Post Office. Again, the road is looking very clean.
