The Old Guild Hall, Carlisle HUTHARTS SHOP

CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE.

Date around 1910-20.

Hutharts was an old established firm, the legend on the back of the card says it had been in existence for almost 100 years at the time of this card.

As can be seen it also occupied a site on Fisher St.

The writing under the Guildhall window reads 'REPAIRED 1844' .

Have a look next time you're passing and see how the doors and windows have changed.

On the right hand building between the windows there is a 'fire plaque' denoting which insurance company insured the building. If the fire service arrived at a fire and you had no plaque or the wrong plaque the building was allowed to burn. There is also one on a farmhouse at Tarraby (this is NOT Yorkshire speak for Harraby :-) ).
