CARLISLE, J ROYAL HOTEL YARD

1851 Directory. Ad Veterinary surgeon [after page 82 at back]

CARLTON GARDENS, Stanwix. Land owned by the Duke of Devonshire and developed by his gardener Joseph Paxton; gates originally stood across the entrance to Cavendish Terrace. The Devonshire private estate ran up Stanwix Bank to Etterby Street, down Etterby Street to Etterby Terrace and back to Cavendish Terrace; street names show the family’s noble connections

There are no houses on Carlton Gardens on the 25 inch OS map surveyed in 1899. The 1902-03 Carlisle Directory lists a Dr Stewart Lockie in Carlton Gardens, but no house numbers are given. In the 1905-06 Directory the houses are numbered 1-11 consecutively. In the 1960 Electoral Register the houses are still numbered 1-11. The City Minutes of 21.10.1960 p445 agree to the renumbering of Carlton Gardens, number 10 now being no 20

Joseph Mayson of Carlton Gardens died 16.07.1906 [Stanwix MI 139/1]

D.Perriam Denton Holme p14 says founded 1770 by William Carrick

Established 1790 (3BC 609 - trade catalogue) William Carrick advertised in the Carlisle Journal in May 1803 that ‘since his short establishment in business he has now built and fitted up a more convenient situation near to where he lives, without the Englishgate, for the purpose of hat manufacturing.’ This was in English Damside on the east side of the millrace. Wood’s map of 1821 shows Carrick’s hattery. Because of the building of the Citadel Station a new site was found on the Borough Mill Field, next to the new station, in 1847. Extension of the Citadel Station in the 1870s meant they had to move again, this time to a site on Norfolk Road, where the new factory was built. This was ready in December 1877 when 220 work people and friends celebrated the opening of the new premises. This was the site eventually taken over by Kangol’s in 1954.

Biscuit manufacturers; founded by Jonathan Dodgson Carr who was born into a Quaker family in 1806 in Kendal where his father was a wholesale grocer; JD Carr began work in Kendal as a baker’s apprentice; he moved to Carlisle in 1831where he began a bakery in Castle Street; three years later he built a flour mill in Church Street, in 1841 he received a Royal Appointment from Queen Victoria, the Carlisle Journal reporting ‘We understand that Mr JD Carr has by special licence been appointed Biscuit Maker to Her Majesty and has received orders for the supply of the Royal Household with his delicious biscuits. We hear he is now engaged in preparing a supply for the Princess Royal’. Three years later he was turning out twenty-one varieties of fancy biscuits, of which Rich Desserts were the most popular; by 1848 he had established a London outlet; in the 1840s J.D.Carr began experimenting with machinery. This led to him eventually to design and install the first biscuit cutting machine; Carr was a Quaker with a sense of social responsibility and his factory had a school room, library and reading room and a bath 14 feet square supplied by hot water from the steam engine; J.D.Carr died 06.04.1884 [Monumental Inscr. 136/13]; in 1879 at the Battle of Rorke’s Drift, the British troops fought the Zulus from behind a barricade made of Carr’s of Carlisle biscuit tins; the next three successors were Henry, Theodore and Harold Carr; Theodore Carr was a brilliant engineer and invented the Baker-Carr icing machine; Company split into Carr and Co Biscuit Manufacturing and Carrs Milling Industries in 1908; in 1910 Carr’s purchased Rakusen Brothers of London who made Kosher Biscuits and Passover Cakes and a company was formed called Bonn and Co under the chairmanship of Theodore Carr; 1927 trading profit of £66,359; Theodore died in 1931 and he was succeeded by his brother Harold; at Christmas 1934 the company announced the factory would go on a five-day, 45 hour, week; Harold died 1937 and control passed to Ronald Carr, grandson of the founder; 1954 trading profit of £479,000, the highest trading profit reached; Ronald retired in 1959 and R.Allen Carr, great-grandson of the founder took over who was thirty three years with the company and a Director for twenty eight; 1964 bought by Cavenham’s and then by United Biscuits on 04.07.1972; Devastating floods of January 2005; biscuit lines made in Carlisle in 2006 - Carrs Table Water Biscuits, Ginger Nuts, Custard and Bourbon Creams, Boasters, Fruit Shortcake and Gold Bars [CN 06.10.2006 p4] October 2006 United Biscuits taken over by the Blackstone Group and PAI Partners [CN 27.10.2006 p3]

Memories from a lady who started working at Carrs in 1941 when she was 14. When you left school there was any amount of factory jobs, Bucks, where my sister went, Metal Box, I chose Carrs. You worked 7:30am - 5:30pm. You had one hour for your lunch and a 10 minute break. I started off in 1941 hand wrapping biscuits. You were stood up all day. The charge hand would inspect your work and if it wasn’t right she’d tell you. There was a basic pay but above that was piece work so you had to work hard to earn your pay. I wore a white coat, a heavy twill material which got washed on Saturday. You also had a white hat, stiff framed, you hadn’t to show any hair. I did lots of jobs there, making oatcakes, then there were Rich Tea biscuits, Ginger Nuts, Abernatheys, I carried tins, soldered on the lids of biscuit tins, iron rations. Taking out the red hot tins from the ovens could give you a nasty burn. You got paid on Thursday, you have to take your money out of a little tin, made sure you didn’t leave a ten bob note rolled tightly around the inside of the tin. Each week you paid 3 pence towards the sick club. That meant when I got a very bad chest I was sent to the convalescent home in Silloth for a fortnight. In the summer the bake house was red hot. I lived in Finn Avenue so walked home, but when we came out at the end of the shift there were 20 or so buses waiting to take workers to all the districts, Gretna as well. Carrs had their canteen on Morton Street. That’s also baked the Jewish unleavened bread, an unkempt rabbi would come and visit, checking that everything was done in the proper fashion. I think they called it Matzo bread

Mr Cartmell, who held the office of City Treasurer for nearly 40 years was born on 19.09.1814, his father having settled in the city, and carried on a business as a tanner. `He served his apprenticeship as a tanner with his relative Mr James Cartmell and in 1836 commenced business on his own in premises in Irish Damside which he had inherited. After managing the tannery on his own for some years he entered into partnership with Mr Thomas Clarke, currier, and under the name of Clarke and Catmell, the two trades were carried on together.

CASTIGLIONE, Ausin

D Perriam Lowther Street. Ran a garage on Lowther Street from 1909 to 1918 when he joined the army and the property became Barnes Border Garage

CASTLE William II built first timber castle in 1092, the Anglo Saxon Chronicles recording that in AD 1092 King William went northward to Carlisle with a large army, and he repaired the city, and built the castle. And he drove out Dolphin, who had before governed the county; and having placed a garrison in the castle, he returned into the south, and sent a great number of rustic Englishmen, with their wives and cattle, that they might settle there and cultivate the land. Keep begun in 1122 by Henry I and completed by David I of Scotland, third floor added in 16th century for canon. King David 1st of Scotland took up residence in Carlisle after the area had been ceded to the Scots in 1136. King David continued the construction of the Keep, dying here in 1153. On the 22.05.1149 King David knighted the future Henry 11 in Carlisle Castle. Carlisle ceded back to England in 1157. In 1158 Henry 11 met King Malcolm of Scotland, the grandson of King David, but refused to knight Malcolm or return Cumbria to him. Captains’s Gatehouse (Inner Gatehouse) built in 1160s; Outer Gatehouse (de Ireby’s Tower) built around 1167; Edward 1 came to Carlisle for the last time in October 1306. He stayed until March the following year at Lanercost; his Queen stayed in Carlisle Castle where her soul was provided for with the construction of a chapel and her body by the installation of a bath. Edward summoned a Parliament to meet in the city, remaining in session for about two months and Summerson says that although no venue is specified there can no doubt it met in the Castle [p134 Carlisle Castle], ending in January 1307. Edward decorated the Keep with the head of Thomas de Brus [Summerson, Carlisle Castle p134a] Edward 1 left Carlisle in July 1307 to die at Burgh by Sands on the 7th day of that month. Edward 11 came to Carlisle upon hearing of the death of his father. On July 20th 1307 he was proclaimed King of England in the Castle, the earls and lords came before him in order of rank, dropped to one knee, kissed his hand and swore homage and fealty to him. Half Moon Battery built in 1542, surrounding inner moat filled in in 1827, re-excavated 1917-19; Mary Queen of Scots fleeing Scotland after her defeat at Langside on May 13,1568 crossed the Solway to Workington and reached Carlisle on 18.05.1568 where she stayed until July 13th. Whenever she left the Castle she was attended by 100 guards. Mary sent for bandages to put over her ears when asleep, to perhaps deaden the sound of the hagbutters guarding her chambers in the three chambers outside. James 1of England stayed 2 nights in Carlisle on his return south from Scotland, August 4th and 5th 1617. James stayed in the Great Hall in the inner ward. Arroyo Block 1804, with 1908-12 extension and 1937-38 rear gymnasium ; Master Gunner’s House/ Arnhem Block, later garrison hospital, rebuilt 1804-03; Magazine built 1827 but could be 1850s replacement; Gallipoli Block built 1829 and extended 1876; 1834-35 Queen Mary’s Tower demolished; Garrison Cells built 1832; Ypres Block built 1836; Officers Mess built 1876; Militia stores built 1881; Alma Block 1932

LICKING STONE An Abrahams picture postcard of the inner dungeon says this

alongside the photo ‘This is over 800 years old and is a gruesome chamber. It is pitch dark. The narrow slit pierces a 12 foot wall and supplies the only air. The Weeping Stone’ [arrow] is always moist and is worn 2 inches deep by prisoners tongues. The doomed were chained by their necks to the left wall and stood on the ledge, often stepping from there to end their misery’. This is a popular legend perhaps going back into the 19th century and beyond. However in the September 2002 issue of Heritage Today David Sherlock, Inspector of Ancient Monuments, says. ‘The Carlisle Castle ‘licking stones’ is just one of a score of legends that have attached themselves to old buildings over the years. The legend has certainly been there longer than English Heritage and we do not know how or when the legend originated. We have another ‘licking stone’ - in the dungeon of Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland - not associated with Scottish prisoners. The stone ‘weeps’ because of buried springs and may well have been a source of water for prisoners, but their erosion is indeed due to natural weathering of the masonry’

CASTLE MILL[S] Devonshire Walk; location shown on G.Smith’s 1746 plan of city called Castle Mills [3 separate mills shown in same area]; shown on Wood’s 1821 map of city. In 1194 the castle acquired a horse-powered mill in case the ‘castle be cut. off from the water mill below.’ Pipe Rolls of 1273 refer to ‘the men of Carlisle account for two marks from the ancient mill below Carlisle Castle’. Mill destroyed in the siege of the city of 1315. In 1382 the mill ‘could not be worked for want of water’ because ‘some malicious persons had cut the bank of the watercourse.’ 1474 Deed records three city mills; Borough Mill, New Mill and Castle Mill [Summerson, Medieval Carlisle p540] Mill rebuilt a number of times; in 1633 William Bushby of Ivegill petitioned the city council to receive ‘payment for his work in building the Castle Mill in stone and lime.’ [CN 02.10.2015 p16 with 1805 drawing by Joseph Powell]

Joseph Forster married a Mary Robinson on 11.12.1785 at St Mary’s Church, Carlisle, so it is possible they are the J&MF. The house next door was owned by the Forsters, a Carlisle banking family whose business collapsed in 1837. Before street renumbering in the 1870s this was no 10. Miss Hannah Heysham was living here in 1858. Carlisle Liberal Club was here in 1881 then after 1885 the Girls Public Day School at 19 extended into these premises. Sometime after 1910 it became the Labour Exchange. The Ministry of Pensions were here by 1931. The directory of 1937 lists a Thomas Porter here. At some point before 1961 it became part of the State Management offices which extended from no 19. After State Management sell off it became Mounsey’s solicitors. From 1974 the new County Library, based at Tullie House, extended into here, as admin offices. The building was shared with the chief probation officer. The probation service moved out in the early 1980 so the library took over the whole building, mobile library services being run from here. The Library moved into the Lanes in 1984 and Steve Matthews purchased the property for use as a second hand bookshop [CN 07.10.2011 p34]

CATHEDRAL Henry I founded an Augustinian priory in Carlisle in 1122. In 1133 the priory church became St Mary’s Cathedral. In 1306 the Papal Legate, Cardinal Peter, preached in the Cathedral and re-invested himself and the other bishops which were present, and then with a candle light and causing the bells to be rung, they cursed in terrible wise Robert the Bruce, the usurper of the Crown of Scotland, with all his partakers, aiders and maintainers. Edward 111 visited Carlisle in 1335 on his way to campaign in Scotland. The Cathedral relics were set out on the main altar to provide divine inspiration to Edward and his departing troops. The relics of the Cathedral included a splinter of the true cross, a sword used in the murder of Saint Thomas a Becket and the girdle of St Bride [Weston p138]. In 1541 it became the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity; During Mary Queen of Scots imprisonment in the Castle she occasionally walked to the Cathedral. In 1617 James 1 of England visited the city and Bishop Snowden preached to him in the Cathedral. 1652 alterations to west end; after the capture of Carlisle following the 1745 uprising the Jacobite garrison who had held the Castle as a rear guard were held prisoner in the Cathedral, which after their evacuation was left in a poor state. A correspondent wrote to Waugh ‘The rebels made a most nasty church which will be not be fit for service for a long while’. It was not until the end of February 1746, ‘after much burning of sulphur and tar’ that the Cathedral was in a fit state for worship again. Minor 1764 alterations; 1846 by Thomas Nelson and 1853-57 restoration by Ewan Christian; 29.12.1918 President Woodrow Wilson visited Carlisle. He was received into the Cathedral by Bishop Diggle, Dean Rashdall and Canon Rawnsley. He was given a conducted tour of the Cathedral’s historical associations with Scotland; 1950s restoration. 30.03.1978 Queen Elizabeth distributes Maunday Money in the cathedral.

The nave of the cathedral was historically the parish church of Saint Mary’s, a dividing wall or screen keeping the Cathedral and parish church separate [CN 23.06.2017 Section 2 p18]

BELLS Bells in Cathedral from as early as 1292

After the death of Dean Hastings Rashdall in 1924 it was announced that his wife, Mrs Rashdall, had offered to have the cathedral bells rehung in memory of her husband and this offer was accepted [CN 10.01.1925, CN 24.01.1925]. The bells were removed for repair in May and taken to bell-founders in London. Two new bells were to be added to complete the peel of eight [CJ 05.05.1925]. In August it was reported that the bells were ‘now being sent back to Carlisle and workmen have been engaged this week in placing them in position in the tower’ [CN 29.08.1925]. It was announced that His Grace the Archbishop of York would dedicate the bells. It was also announced that arrangements had been made for the broadcasting of the Archbishop’s address and ringing of the bells by the Newcastle Radio Station [CN 07.11.1925]. In a crowded Cathedral the peal of eight bells was dedicated and a mural tablet in memory of Rashdall unveiled. Following the dedicatory service the bells pealed out, rung by eighteen members of the Cumberland Association of Change Ringers and listened to by several hundreds of people gathered in the vicinity of the Cathedral. The new Dean expressed his great appreciation of all those who helped to make the service of the dedication of the bells [CN 21.11.1925] Hastings Rashdall Dean of Carlisle 1917-1924 Dorothy Postle and Margaret Marsh, 2000
