The story of Carlisle

Hi

My old photo of Glovers Row", demolished 1896"

has Blakey's Boots and Shoes, two more shops? I can't read then looks like Carruthers jutting out slightly.  I found the Greenmarket entries too.

One in the background has the awning.  Across the road, at right angles to it.  Could be the modern cleaners.

Best wishes

PS Modern map says Green Market is still there from Castle street to Fisher Street, near the end of St Alban's Row!

Yes Emms, thats definitely the Green Market but those are very modern photos. The half timbered building is the Guildhall and I think genuinley middle ages. The one up for sale/let had a problem about 15-20 years ago where it hadn't been occupied and the roof was letting in pigeons. The weight of guano got so great that after a rainstorm that allowed the guano to adsorb lots of water the upstairs ceiling ended up on the downstairs floor with middle floors underneath it. A friend of mine got the job of fixing it.
Geoff, just got back from a school reunion - first visit in 45 years - to find school celebrates 400 years in 2012. Also there was the headmaster (84yo) who "expelled" me all those years ago but didn't remember the incident! Happy days.

Hi Bob,

Yes, I now they're modern, but where do your old buildings ion the photo, fit in with the old buildings on here?

Thank you for telling us about the guano, by the way, and what's more to the point, are we allowed to ask why he expelled you?

Going out!

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.
