CANAL
See also Bell William, shipbuilder
In the canal building age proposals to construct a canal between the city and the Solway were first put forward in 1794. Before the canal was eventually built vessels of between 60-80 tons discharged their cargo at Sandsfield, on the River Eden. Materials were then carted the three and a half miles into the city. Cheaper and better transport links were needed to support Carlisle’s developing industries. In 1819 an Act of Parliament was obtained for the construction of the Carlisle Canal. The Carlisle Journal of 12.02.1820 commented ‘this week the workmen at the canal commenced operations’. The Canal was eventually opened 12.03.1823. Mr Ferrier, the Canal sub-engineer, estimated that a crowd of 26,400 people, almost twice the population of the city, were down at the Canal Basin to witness the ship the ‘Robert Burns’ enter the Canal Basin. The local press reported on the opening that ‘Messrs Cowen, Heysham and Co, Carlisle, had a lot of cotton on board the Miss Douglas. She sailed from Liverpool on Sunday evening, the 9th inst, about seven o’clock, and arrived in the Canal Basin at about 3 on the following Wednesday, the 12th; on Thursday the 13th, about half-past twelve, the cotton was disembarked and sent to Messrs Cowen, Heysham and Co’s manufactory, where a part of it was almost immediately converted into yarn; by eight the next morning, this yarn was sent to Mr John Ferguson, who caused cloth to be made from it sufficient for a lady’s dress by ten on the morning of the 15th; and if mantuamaker had been set to work, some blooming Cumberland damsel might have appeared in it at church on Sunday 16th. This curious fact exhibits in a strong point of view the wonderful perfection of our manufacturing system’. Canal 8ft 6 inches deep, locks 72 ft 6 inches long and 18ft 4 inches wide [1851 Ward’s Northern Directory Ads p4]; The locks were eight in total, rising from eight to nine feet each. The canal was to allow ships of 100 tons to enter the Canal Basin in Caldewgate. The majority of the locks and bridges had been put into the care of the keepers who resided in the houses attached to them. The length of the Canal from the Basin behind Carrs Biscuit works today [2022] to the sea at Port Carlisle, known at the time as Fisher’s Cross, was eleven miles in length. Boats were usually hauled along the canal with horses. The success of the canal raised the question once again of extending the canal to Newcastle. Mr Chapman was asked to carry out a survey to establish the cost of such a venture. His report published in November 1824 costed the scheme at £888,000, compared with the projected cost of a railway at £252,488. First ship constructed at Canal Basin ‘The City’ launched 31.10.1825 [CN 23.11.2007 p36].The Bill for building the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway received the Royal Assent in 1829. The Carlisle Journal of 01.01.1827 gave a full breakdown of the loads carried down the canal. The Solway Steam Packet discharged the below cargo at Port Carlisle; eleven deck passengers, 266 bales of cotton, 20 barrels of flour, 1 iron cistern, 38 iron pipes, 45 trusses manufactured goods and yarn, 31 boxes and bags sundries, 4 casks madder, 5 puncheons iron water, 5 boxes soap, 8 firkins and four half-firkins soap, 1 box, 1 chest lac dye, 3 chests starch, 1 chest indigo, 100 bags salt, 1 cask tobacco, 4 bags coffee, 1 barrel apples, 1 sack nuts, 10 sacks linseed, 27 boxes and chests fruit, 734 iron bars, 23 tierces scrap, 1 half hundredweight sugar, 1 pun oil. On 09.03.1837 the one and a half mile freight line between the London Road Station, the Carlisle terminus of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, and the Canal Basin was opened. In 1839 the line was opened throughout. The Canal initially profited from this rail link but the opening of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway in 1845, followed by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway the following year and finally the Carlisle to Glasgow railway in 1848 saw a considerable fall off in traffic on the Canal. The Canal was drained 13.08.1853. When the water was drained off a myriad of small boys retrieved a huge quantity of pike and eels. One of the pike, estimated to be 20 years of age, was so large that an onlooker was heard to say that ‘he was in doubt whether he ought to attempt to eat it or suffer himself to be eaten by it.’ A railway was laid in the bed of the Canal and the line to port Carlisle was opened for passenger traffic on 22.06.1854

The experiment in Cheshire was successful and he wrote that he wanted this and another boiler back in his works and he went onto say that ‘the boilers were shipped today in the steamboat via Carlisle from which place they will be forwarded to Newcastle’. This was the steam packet to Port Carlisle and then along the Canal to the city where they were loaded onto wagons for the final part of their journey.

1724-6 Daniel Defoe Tour through the whole island of Great Britain. ‘...we came to Carlisle, a small but well fortified city, the frontier place and key of England on the west sea, as Berwick upon Tweed is on the east; and in both which there have, for many years, I might say ages, been strong garrisons kept to check the invading Scots......The city is strong but small, the buildings old, but the streets fair; the great church is a venerable old pile, it seems to have been built at twice, or as it were, rebuilt, the upper part being much more modern than the lower. King Henry VIII fortified this city against the Scots, and built an additional castle to it on the east side, which Mr Camden, though I think not justly, calls a citadel; there is indeed another castle on the west, part of the town rounds the sea, as the wall rounds the whole, is very firm and strong. But Carlisle is strong by situation, being almost surrounded by rivers. On the east it has the River Poterell, on the north Eden, and on the south the Cande, or Canda, or Calda, which all fall into the arm of the sea, which they call the Solway, or Solway Firth. Here is a bridge over the Eden, which soon lets you into Scotland...On the other side of the Eden we saw the Picts Wall....and some remains of it are to be seen further west’

Luguvallo, Luguvalio 4th, (6th), Lugubalium late 7th (14th); 731 Bede, Hist Eccl, Lugubalia id est Luel; nunc dicitur Carleil 1129
Old Celtic name meaning ‘place belonging to a man Luguvalos’ [a personal name meaning strong as the Celtic god Lugus. This name apparently occurs in Lug(u)dunum, the classical form from which Leiden in Holland and Lyons in France are descended], to which is added Celtic cair ‘fortified town’, added after the Roman period.

CARLISLE AND COUNTY AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
On 27.02.1885, it was reported that ‘at a meeting in Carlisle, recently, it was decided to form an association to be called the Amateur Photographic Association for the advancement of amateur photography’. The mayor, Benjamin Scott, was voted President. It was reported that the association would have field days, and membership was not confined to the city. Their first photographic exhibition took place in Finkle Street in the last week of December 1885. 28.02.1886 first annual general meeting. By this time the society was known as the Carlisle and County Amateur Photographic Society. A second exhibition was held a year later where about 600 photographs were on display. Lectures were delivered during the winter months. By 1899 membership was up to 70 from 63 the previous year

The evidence of a birth certificate in 1929 giving this as place of birth suggests it was a maternity home at this time.

CARLISLE CHRONICLE AND NORTHERN ADVERTISER 17.10.1807 - 1811
Carlisle Record Office’s bound edition of the Carlisle Journal for 1811 contains a single issue of the Carlisle Chronicle for 11.05.1811 bound in it [August 2008]. The Chronicle was established by a few gentlemen in opposition to the Carlisle Journal and was advertised to commence under the title of ‘The Carlisle Herald’ , but as a ruse de guerre, and to confound the people, Mr Jollie immediately issued the prospectus of a Tuesday paper, to be called the Cumberland Herald. It was brought out but only lived a twelve months. The Chronicle expired in 1811. But like a Pheonix from its ashes, the yellow paper again rose, under a different proprietorship in the present Carlisle Patriot. [J.S.Lough The Retrospect, B279]

CJ 04.11.1826 p3d Death of owner and publisher of Journal F.Jollie
September 1830 Sir James Graham wrote to Henry Brougham ‘The paper [Carlisle Journal] has now fallen into the hands of a violent, illiterate editor; and you cannot wonder at his ignorance and blunders when I tell you that he was a working weaver a very short time ago; and falsehood also is natural to him, since he is an avowed disciple of Cobbett, the father of lies...civil convulsion is his object and a new division of property the end in view’.

CARLISLE PATRIOT Dean Milner had long observed, with sorrow, the increase and dissemination of a democratic spirit in the city and neighbourhood of Carlisle, and had thought very seriously upon the subject, with the view to the adoption of some practical means of checking the growing evil. As the best means of effecting this purpose, he had conceived the design of establishing a weekly newspaper, to be conducted along loyal and constitutional principles, and the execution of this design was hastened by a fresh outbreak of this pestilential spirit. He wrote and caused to be printed and circulated, a paper touching upon the main points of the existing popular discontents. This paper which was headed A CAUTION was printed without a signature, but the style discovered the author. This CAUTION was effectual, not only in suppressing the actual symptoms of turbulence and disaffection, but also in determining the conduct of several influential people, who had previously been lukewarm or irresolute, now resolved to join heart and hand with the Dean in the establishment of a weekly newspaper, of which the principal object should be to disseminate sound principals, both political and religious. Dean Milner furnished a prospectus for the paper ‘Fear God, Honour the King’. [Life of Isaac Milner, 2nd edition, p367]

CARLISLE SUBSCRIPTION LIBRARY Established 24.11.1768 at Castle Street; annual subscription paid by members and rules and lists of books were regularly printed; it was in a feeble state until 1804, when it was animated by a new spirit, by an improved set of regulations, adopted at a public meeting, so that its receipts advanced in one year, from £23 to £56 and an annual increase has taken place to the present period [1829]. It now comprises about 140 members who each subscribe 18 s per year. Every member pays 4 guineas for his share, which he can transfer or bequeath. The library now is in great estimation, and contains about 1,920 separate works, besides a considerable number of pamphlets and periodicals. It is conducted by a committee elected annually, and a secretary and treasurer; and is open daily from 11am - 1pm and from 2pm - 5pm, when Miss Elizabeth Robinson, the librarian, is in attendance [Parson and White 1829 p147] foundation stone of new building on corner of English St and Devonshire St laid on 28.05.1830; architects Messrs Rickman and Hutchinson; builder W.Gate; moved into new premises on corner of English Street/ Devonshire Street in 1831; amalgamated with public library in 1896

CARLISLE UNITED Changed name to Carlisle United from Shaddongate United in 1904 [CP 20.05.1904]; same year moved to new pitch at Devonshire Park; moved to Brunton Park in 1909 where first match played 02.09.1909. 1905-06 admitted to the Second Division of the Lancashire Combination. Won promotion to the First Division in 1906-07. Moved to the North Eastern League and in 1921-22 they became champions of that league. Repeatedly finishing high in the North Eastern league induced the club to look further afield and with the formation of the Northern Section of the Football League they looked to be admitted to the Football League. Five times they applied to the League and they were rewarded in the 1928-9 season when they were admitted to the Northern Section. The previous season Carlisle United had finished runners up in the North Eastern League and done well in the FA Cup. In their first term in the new league they reached eighth position. The newspaper in January 1951 noted that since that they had never bettered that eighth place finish during their 22 years in the Northern Section. On one occasion they had to apply for re-election. When Bill Shankly came to Carlisle as a player in circa 1936 he lodged in Tullie Street. When he came back as a manager in March 1949 he returned to live in Tullie Street. In the 1946/7 season Carlisle United appointed as a player manager the 23 year old Ivor Broadis. In January 1949 Sunderland signed Broadis for a transfer fee of £18,000. Two months later the club appointed Bill Shankly. Saturday 6th January 1951 Carlisle draw 0-0 away at Arsenal in the 3rd Round of the Football Association Cup before losing 1-4 in the replay at Brunton Park. Promoted to Division 3 at the end of the 1961-62 season. Hughie McIlmoyle joined in 1962. Relegated to Division 4 at the end of the 1962-63 season; in that season they lost in the Cup to non-league Gravesend. Promoted to Division 3 at the end of the 1963-64 season. Promoted to Division 2 at the end of the 1964-65 season. 1969-70 season League Cup semi-final, won the first round against West Bromwich Albion 1-0, but lost 1-4 away. A fire at Howe of Brampton, printers, meant that very few copies of the Carlisle Middlesbrough match programme have survived, making them perhaps the rarest of Carlisle United programmes. 1973-74 season won promotion to Division 1, the top league, under their manager Alan Ashman. They won their first three games in the division; they did the double over Everton, beat Derby County, the champions that season, 3-0 at home, drawing 0-0 away. Relegated to Division 2 at the end of the 1974-75 season. At the end of the 1985-86 season Carlisle were relegated to Divison 3. At the end of the 1986-87 season Carlisle were relegated into Division 4. 1987-88 Season Carlisle finished second bottom of the Football League, above Newport County. 1991-92 Season Carlisle finished bottom of Football League but they survived in the League due to the fact that Maidstone United who finished 8 points above them went out of existence. 1998-99 Season goalkeeper Jimmy Glass, on loan goalkeeper, scored a 94th minute winner to secure League survival. In 2003 Carlisle were at Cardiff in the Autoshields final, losing 0-2 to Bristol City. Relegated to the Conference League at the end of the 2003-04 Season after draw with Cheltenham. Conference play offs 2004-05 Season; final at Stoke where we beat Stevenage 1-0. 2005 ground flooded and Carlisle were scheduled to play their home games at Workington [beat Redditch 3-1 in the FA Trophy] Morecambe [beat Barnet 4-1 in the FA Trophy] and Gretna [The game against Leigh RMI was postponed because of a frozen ground] 2005 -06 season Paul Simpson, Carlisle born manager, wins promotion to Division 1 [formerly called Division 3] 2006 again in the Autoshield Final, losing again 1-2 against Swansea. 2007-08 Season in the playoff for the Championship [former Division 2] We won 2-1 against Leeds at Eland Road but lost 0-2 at Brunton Park. Leeds then lost the final to Doncaster. 2009-10 Season Autowindshield Final at Wembley, losing to Southampton 1-4. 2011-12 Season again at the Autoshield Final, playing Brentford who beat us 0-1. 2013-14 Season relegated to Division 2 [former Division 4]. Following the 2015 floods home games were played at Preston, Blackburn and Blackpool. 2016-17 Season made the play off semi-final, losing to Exeter. End of 2022-23 season gained promotion to Division 2 following Wembley playoff defeat of Stockport
