Memories of the lanes

[bobgraham]

No, couldn't find Lamplugh Works but I made a mistake on it's location. It is probably still there as that large building just before the council tip (self storage etc). But I did find a Mains Manufacturing Co. Carlisle Ltd. on Water St although I'm suspicious as "Mains" were up London Rd.
The gas works were where the station is now and moved to Borough Mill Field in 1847 when the station was built. This is next to Mill Lane what we now call Victoria viaduct and not moved to Rome st until 1919.
In 1829 there is no listing for Mill St or James St but Water st and Long Island are there. And in 1894 Mill St is still there but a no Thoroughfare.  It just gets stranger and stranger.

And Geoff, you're right about John st. There were 2 pubs listed that I recognised listed as being on it. The Malsters Arms only closed a few years back. I think what confused was its descripion as being on Church st - we now call that road Caldewgate - rightly or wrongly.

Mother went to a talk on the Lanes Shopping centre in Carlisle which knocked down most of the lanes between Scotch st and Lowther st and some clever person took notes. They were apparently quite labrynthine. Do you suppose I have to ask permission of the talk giver (Tom Watts of the coffee shop on Bank st) before I publish on here? I would hate to get anybody into trouble.

Hi Bob & Goeff

Thank you for all your replies.  Not managed anything new, but keeping my eyes out.  Some of the talks that have been given sound fascinationg.  Copyright's getting more complicated by the moment. 

Even so, I would have thought publishing the full notes without permission wouldn't be on, but adding a couple of facts from the knowledge gained would be another matter.

Best wishes

Due to Geoff's brill maps on the backhouses thread, my apologies. The old lanes were probably 200 yards long.
