Aerial views from the Cathedral circa 1910
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE.
Looking down Castle St. towards the castle and Etterby Scaur. Modern day Austin Friars school sits above the castle.
A more interesting card with the Viaduct Goods Yard right centre and just above it Dentonholme Goods Yard, the two were seperated by the river. In the centre with the chimneys is Carlisle Gas Works (built 1846-47, closed around 1922) where the Upper Viaduct car park is now. The buildings to the left are possibly The City Electricity Works (opened 1899, presumably closed when Willowholme opened in 1927) which stood at the junction of James St and The Viaduct.
Castle St and beyond to Etterby. Bookcase is the grey building with the arched windows, Long Lane is next to it.
Towards the city centre. St. Marys church sits where the floral flower beds are now. The road above the Cathedral spire running into open country side is probably Victoria Place.
