difficult Emms.
The end of my row sort of points at the the first/last building in the Green Market. I will try and get a scan of it and post it but my compact 64 is playing up. Looking at photo again I would say there is yet another lane between Ward & Story and Carruthers. The shop beyond Carruthers is about a streets width from the corner of the old town hall. If you wanted me to guess, I would say the end of the row is somewhere  near the lamp post to the right of your second photo.

Hi Bob

Sorry, I can still only think the bit that's gone is Glovers' Row, though some of my bits of map don't have a name on it, they just call it all Green Market.  Yes, I think from my photo which does call it Glovers Row, there's a lane next to Carruthers.

I'm thinking about scanning when it cools down. 

I don't think \I can post though as it's a modern book.

I could mail it if anyone's interested, or pm the book name.

I'll see in thje morning.

Emms, the real photo is much bigger than this but I've had to crop it and crop it to get under the 500KB limit for uploading. Hope you can make things out.

I wasn't expelled! Which is why I put it in "". It was formally requested that I did not return after completing my A levels. I had an altercation with the (very young) biology master and subsequently only 3 out of a class of 6 passed. With a class of 6, one would expect a slightly better return from a creme de la creme school, (jean brody failed the interview as it was an all boys school). Dad was devastated and moved back to west dumbria and I went to live in headingly cricket/rugby environ.  But this old family history prior to 1962 so in the words of my ancestors "enough already"  :)bob

Emms, I've been thro' historicaldirectories time and again (boss is off) but can't find any glovers apart from occupation and a family in Keswick. Certainly no glovers row in carlisle. Huh?

Hi Bob

Thank you Rosemary for prodding his memory>  I knew "Asked to Stay Away", if that was what the quotes meant would have as good a story as Expelled or Permanently  Excluded!

Right - back on topic!

That picture is absolutely brilliant Bob!  I just love all the people and the activity in it!  Mine's not nearly as good.  Less activity.

However, it does figure part of that same row in front of what is now Top Shop and which no longer exists.

I've definitely seen this referred to as Glovers Row on more than one occasion.  So both photo's are before the mid 1890's when it was demolished.

Mine starts beyond the left hand end of the row if you are facing it.  You can clearly see another row parallel to it and it just appears past the other end.  I think that is what you can see on your photo.  The row behiond look much more bleak than the present day row. 

The market monument is in front of Blakey's and there are two boys on it.  Otherwise no people.

I'll try and scan it to you, but I don't think I dare put it on line.  As I said, a modern book so otherwise, I'll be the one being expelle  - from Rootschat!

I've got it on more than one map but not called Glover's Row.  I've hear that talked about loads and also in books.

I'll see what else I can see.

I can't see the cathedral on mine but it's a bit murky.

Best wishes

PS

I think this may be very soon before "That Row" was demolishes.  There aren't many women in the photo, and not much detail, but what I cAn see looks that era.  (Just because in this respect women are much more useful due to the wider variation in dress with fashion, at this era.)

Any chance of a close up of them, which wouldn't be as big a file as the whole group?

Hi Bob

Qupte here from Ashley Kendall's site for Watts which apparently started life in Glovers' Row.  Evidently built earlier than I realised!


Quote
John Watt & Son was founded in 1865 by John and William Watt in Glovers Row, Carlisle (known as the Green Market).

Is that the fancy fronted piece at the far end of the row in your photo?

I'd like to know more about that Carruthers shop too.

Good night!

That's interesting Emms. Kelly 1894 has Henry Carruthers at 8 and 11 greenmarket and John & J.W. Watt at 9 and 10, both grocers but no mention of Glovers lane. If you go looking don't put s on end of Watt and you'll go straight to it.

Ah, clever stuff! I just looked on Glovers Lane.  So it looks as if at that stage that row didn't have an address ass Glovers' Row, even though it must have been known as such as many other souces give Glovers' Lane. 

I wonder if the postal system when it came called it all Green Market, or it had been named that prior to being pulled down?

Apparently there was another building to the left?, the Mainguard?  for military based in the town?, but I read last night it went mid 1850's 1855?

Even so, they should both be on 1855 census.  A fishmarket too.

There are photofront and back of that row, including one juust prior to demolition - the gap behind is about a street's width as you said, and seems to almost line up with the Town Hall side of Castle Street.

In 1858, I can find no mention of anybody below in the post office directory but in 1873 we have
1 market place, george coulthard, grocer
2     "          "   , John Watt,                 "
3     "          "   , james bewley, fishmonger
4     "          "   , john (headag?), grocer
as the only occupants of that side of the square.
Note different numbers from 1894! Plus the numbers for people I can find in 1858 all seem quite high in the 80's. But no sign of Glovers Lane.

I found this picture, I'm not sure if it's relevant to anything



Looking at Carlisle on the 1868 map here http://www.old-maps.co.uk/IndexMapPage2.aspx there is an extra line of buildings in the Market Square.  They appear to have been demolished before 1901, when the shape of the square is the same as at present-
