Author brought up here. 44 Orton Road, a two-bedroom, non-parlour, semi-detached house. ‘There was only one living room but it was a decent size and the range along one wall had a good over even if it was of the old-fashioned kind (strange for a modern house). One of the bedrooms was fairly large...and the other big enough for a double bed. There was also a bathroom which was literally that, a room with a bath, but no sink, and no lavatory, which was outside. There was a garden round three sides of the house’

It was not until 1858, by which time he was 56 years old, that John, one of the first studio photographers in Carlisle, embarked on a photographic career.

Carlisle Examiner 22.06.1858, he advertised his photographic rooms at 80 Castle Street. In 1860, he purchased a recently built house at 21 Corporation Road and continued his photographic business from there. At the time of his death, in London, on 31 July 1869, John Ostell, photographer, was described in a Carlisle newspaper as ‘late of this city’. [Mr Moonie]

OTTERS I have never observed wild otters around Carlisle. On Saturday 15th November 2008 at about 12 o’clock I saw an otter in the River Eden for several minutes swimming in the swollen waters. The location was just west of where Johnnie Bulldogs Lonning comes out onto the Eden, GR 425 566. Subsequently seen otters on several occasions from the footpath running east of Johnnie Bulldogs [2020, 2021]
