Stanwix Bank Cottages & The Creighton Memorial
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE.
These are the old cottages that stood at the junction of Stanwix Bank and Brampton Road. They were demolished in 1904. Note the water pump and mileage board.
The Creighton Memorial stood close to where The Civic Centre is now. It was erected in 1898 in honour of J.R. Creighton and was moved in 1970 for the building of the new roundabout and dual carriageway.
The Creighton name was and still is part of Carlisle's recent history.
Mandell Creighton, born in the city in 1843 went on to become Bishop of London, he was also an historian and wrote about Carlisle in the 'Historic Towns' series.
Creighton Avenue was named after Alderman Archibald Creighton, there is a Creighton Park in Willowholme and a Creighton Rugby Club. There used to be a Creighton School in the city and there is near Greystone Road, Margaret Creighton Gardens. Whether or not all these Creightons are related I am not sure.http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandell_Creighton
