TELEVISION See Border Television; British Broadcasting Corporation; Channel 5; Cable Television
You could receive a signal in Carlisle from Holme Moss near Huddersfield [opened 1951] before the mast at Sandale [opened 1956] was brought into operation. To pick up the Holme Moss signal you needed a large aerial. If you lived in a council house your tenancy was governed by strict rules as to any changes you could make to the property. The large aerial needed to pick up the Holme Moss signal needed planning permission. The city council minutes from 1951/52 contain planning applications from council houses for said aerial. This lead to comments about subsidised council housing tenants being able to afford the ‘luxury’ of a television. Although Border Television did not come to the city until September 1961 local people could tune into Tyne Tees if you had the right sort of serial, not the H shape but a horizontal aerial with v shaped arrow heads along it [memory]
Denton Magazine of Robert Ferguson School 1964-65 p33 First TV in house August 1956 ‘It took three men one day to assemble the aerial and secure it to the chimney’. The TV did not work and the men had to come back and fit another aerial the next day.
Uncle Jodie retired to Margaret Creighton Gardens after they demolished property in Corporation Road. I remember him watching football in his house. He’d always stand to watch the football. When the family told him to sit down he’d say ‘You don’t sit down to watch football!’ [Memory of Muriel Kemp]

THEATRE; LOWTHER STREET - HER MAJESTY’S Erected 1874 as Victoria Hall; builders Messrs C and J Arnstrong; opened 26.10.1874 with a production of the ‘The Messiah’ ; Re-named H.M.Theatre and Opera House in 1879 ; fire 15.09.1904 following a production of ‘A Country Girl’; this period was the hey-day of the theatre; reopened 14.09.1905, when it accommodated 1,500 [although it was estimated that 2,500 have been crammed in]; closed in May 1932 due to the Depression; sporadic productions until re-opened by a group of local business men [A.Creighton, Edmund Lund, Lionel Lighfoot, William Strother, John Gordon] 01.10.1934 with reduced seating capacity of about 1,300; final closure 19.01.1963, reopening as a bingo club shortly after. Final demolition came in 1979
The theatre was fortunate in the past, owing to its convenient position between England and Scotland, the East coast and the West. Flying matinees brought many stars to the city, and the touring system found Carlisle a convenient date. Many famous actors and actresses appeared at the theatre before they had achieved wide acclaim, notably Henry Irving [JH Barnes], Charlie Chaplin, Robert Donat, Lewis Casson, Emlyn Williams, Sydney Fairbrother, Colonel FS Cody, and Ronald Mackenzie. Amongst the ladies; Mrs Scott Siddons, Sybil Thorndike, Miss Marriott and Miss Vesta Tilley. Opera was first heard in the Theatre in 1875. The list of lessees include John Hudspeth 1875-9, Royston Cogan 1879-1880, Charles Barnard 1880-82, George Heslop 1882, Thomas Elsworth 1882-5, Mrs Enid Lawson 1895 [wife of Mr John Lawson, the famous Jewish impersonator] , Messrs Milton Bode and Stewart McKim 1895-1903, Stuart McKim 1903-04; trustees of Stuart McKim 1905-06, T.Courice and Mrs Stewart McKim 1906-12, Mr Sidney Bacon 1912-15, Ernest Stevens 1915-1932, Mr AJ Stewart 1932-33 [closed May 27th 1933] Her Majesty’s Theatre (Carlisle) 1934. Royston Cogan was the first to present regular dramatic performances. He made a number of changes in the construction of the Theatre, and introduced the three-tier system of seating. [The theatre was also used for poultry shows and political meetings, flower shows. In 1878 the telephone was exhibited as a great curiosity, whilst in 1897 cinematograph performances were given regularly each night after the play. Lord Randolph Churchill spoke in the Theatre as well as Oswald Mosely and Lord Beaverbrook. [1935 Theatre Blotter]

TOWN CRIER
The custom was prevalent in Carlisle upon the death of any inhabitant of, first the tolling of the death bell, announcing to the world the dissolution; second the public crier who used to ring his bell and proclaim in every street in a loud, distinct and melancholy tone of voice, the hour of the deceased’s funeral, inviting all friends and neighbours to attend, third, funeral psalms sung by the attendants as they were conducting the corpse through the public streets to the churchyard for internment [Life of Dr Hersham, H.Lonsdale, p64]

TOWN HALL Built 1668 - 69 on site of medieval Town Hall [ancient Town Hall depicted on Elizabethan map of Carlisle ], the contract of 1668 states that it should be taken down to the ground and rebuilt. The original contract between the Corporation and the contractors John Simpson, Robert Abbott and Robert Ritson is held in Carlisle Record Office; 1717 (dated) extension on the Scotch Street side; 1727 additional house and shop added to the west end of the building and later used for magistrates retiring room, rate office and sanitary inspectors office; 1746 grand jury under Baron Clark meets in the Town Hall to try 125 prisoners following the 1745 uprising, the charge high treason. The trials began September 9th and led to 33 executions. The court of Assize dealing with serious crime continued to be held in the Town Hall until 1813 when it was moved to the reconstructed Citadel. Use of the Town Hall as a Magistrates/Police Court continued until 1941.19th century alterations and additions, including 1867 alterations; central external serpentine stone steps to the upper floor council chamber added about 1825, to replace 17th century steps; at rear facing onto St Albans Row an original 1669 upper floor cross-mullioned window, now partly blocked, has been re-exposed. The City Council continued to meet in the Town Hall until 1964 when the Civic Centre opened. Other City Council functions were also carried out from the Town Hall until 1964, Today, 2010, the upper floor is used as a Tourist Information Bureau and Assembly Rooms. The ground floor has always been used for commercial use

2021 There is often a youngish man sitting on the pavement begging outside the English Street side of the HSBC bank. Today, 15.11.2021, a new young man was begging here. People engaged with him, one old man saying he didn’t believe in giving money to which the man replied ‘I don’t do drugs and at least I’m English’. Another pitch is under the protection of House of Frasers projecting roof and the foot of the Sallyport stairs. A man offered a young woman who was begging in St Cuthbert’s Lane a sandwich out of Marks and Spencer. The young woman replied she’d prefer a MacDonalds.
