Pictures of Carlisle
« on: Monday 16 April 07 21:48 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know of a site with pictures of Carlisle, esp. London Road, at any time since the 1900's?

My family had shops along there until the late 1960's - just curious to know if they might be there.  Here's one pic. I have - I'd like to try and find out when it was taken, being a newsagent's I suppose it might be possible to date it from the hoardings outside.

If you go to www.cumberland-news.co.uk and look down LHS, there is a "photo gallery" where you can put "london road" in and get 200 photos. There not all very old but you may well pick out ones that interest you.

http://www.cumbriaimagebank.co.uk/ The link if I'd done it correctly takes you to Cumbrian Image Bank another great site with photos, and very comprehensive, you can search it too.

Thanks for this  - I spent a wee while searching through and found a couple of photos of family interest! And I've offered copies of related items (earlier pics) to the archive!
