What was once undoubtedly an exciting entertainment option in Carlisle is now probably 'the talk of the town' for entirely different reasons.

No prizes for guessing where this was taken.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This was built in 1909 as a warehouse for McCumiskey Brothers, who were rag and bone men, scrap dealers, and recyclers of just about anything. In the 1920's it was sold to William Coulthard & Co, engineers and plumbers merchants. Carlisle Glass took over the building in the later 20th century, and it was put up for sale again in 2007. (Much of this information taken from an article in The Cumberland News, 20/01/06). Behind the works is the back of the Vue Cinema, formerly Warner Village, which was built in 2000.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This large building was almost certainly built as a single shop, though is currently in use by several separate businesses.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Christ Church once stood here, the fairly substantial building had a tower with a spire, which appears in this photo c.1910 http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5650/2232/1600/c6.18.jpg (from "Carlisle Postcards" blog http://carlislepostcards.blogspot.com/ ). The church was consecrated in 1830 and demolished in 1953. There are still a few headstones around the sides of the park. Another view from Botchergate here [[280759]] . The block of flats on the right is called The Picture House, built on the site of the disused Palace Cinema which was destroyed by fire in 2004.
