Hi Bob
Dragged out another map - not the latest, but fairly modern, Nicholson. For one thing, there were loads of tiny streets in the space you mention, which have disappeared.
For another problem, I had another look today and there are bits of streets on different levels because of the building of the railway, and the station. Of course there are tunnels underneath the station too.
We do know from the Wood's map that Water Street is the other side of Collier Lane from Cecil Street. It joins at right angles. I think it iss maybe where if you come out of the long stay car park, there is the remains of a lane formed of sets that hits Collier Lane almost opposite the doors of the hotel garage, just out of site on my photo of Collier Lane above.
On my more modern map, South John Street is between Crown Street and Water Street, as opposed to John Street near Caldewgate.
Having a think!

1828/9 Pigot's:
The Cossack, John Sowerby was on Water Lane. Also various manufacturers and shops. I'd hoped for a tavern we'd recognise.
PF Doran has a school in Watergate Lane and Timothy Powel is master at your Lancaster School in Water Lane
Going to look at map again!
Best wishes

Hi Goeff
An expert! That sounds like the John St on the other side. Thank you! A link to Old Maps. Just what I need!
Best wishes

Hi
Earliest map is 1868.
Even by then, Water Street is more or less where it is today. Link is hopefully large scale around the station. I'm intrigued though. Maybe it's a boundary or something goes along where that bit of lane from Collier Lane goes, right across (Under>), the station and across James Street onto the river path that's marked as Watergate Lane on the old map.
I'm itching to find a copy of that book on the building of Citadel Station!

Modified: Looks like you can't do that. Goes to the search page.
If you put Collier Lane in though, Carlisle is at the top of the huge drop down list, or try Citadel Station.

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
