COURTAULDS

Took over Morton Sundour in 1963. A new factory, Hadrian Mill, was built in 1968 on the former Murell Hill Gardens. This was a part of the Courtauld’s Northern Weaving Division. In 1969 it was stated in an advert that the factory ‘now employs 500 and provides fabric for all parts of the world.’

COWANS SHELDON Cranemakers; later Cowans Boyd; firm founded at Woodbank, Upperby in 1846; the partners John Cowans and Edward Pattinson Sheldon were apprentices with Robert Stephenson and Co. at their Tyneside Works and here they met another apprentice William Bouch. Cowans and Sheldon took the lease of a works at Woodbank, on the southern outskirts of Carlisle, in 1846, Thomas Bouch and his brother William being sleeping partners. William Bouch position as locomotive superintendent with the Stockton and Darlington Railway was a helpful connection. At first business was mostly wagon and carriage wheels, axels and buffers along with the engine wheel and crank pin work for the S&DR. In 1851 Sheldon suffered a debilitating accident resulting in a gradual loss of sight and paralysis of his arm and leg. It was evident that more space was needed for the expanding business. They bought St Nicholas site in Carlisle 1857, this was a former engineering works with rail access; George Dove was brought in as manager of the site and he would eventually become a equal partner in 1863. 1859 the first railway crane supplied and the company also developed railway turntables for wagons and eventually locomotives. Cowans died in 1873 at Cranford in Middlesex, EP Sheldon dying in 1881. Thomas Bouch had passed away in 1880, the year after the Tay Bridge, which he had designed, collapsed. Through the 1880s and 1890s the biggest demand was for coaling cranes. Locally the company provided the iron work for the new Market Hall. The company had now established a worldwide reputation. The St Nicholas works now comprised of commercial offices, a large drawing office, machine shops, forging shops, iron and brass foundries, stores, joinery works and large fitting and erecting shops. In 1903 the NER ordered a series of cranes for use on their docks at Middlesbrough and Hartlepool, but the biggest customer that year was the Admiralty. In 1935 the company patented a Vacuum Engine for driving turntables. By using the vacuum brake, a locomotive could turn a table with ease. This eliminated the need for hand cranking or pushing which had been the practise to then. Work slowed after the war, in 1950 only nine major BR orders were won and only three in 1954. Overseas orders still came in. In1962the firm became associated with Clyde Crane and Booth Ltd, ending over 100 years as an independent concern. In 1961 Cowans employed a total of 450 employees; 1969 Clarke Chapman acquired Cowans Sheldon, Clyde Crane and Booth. In 1982 Cowans Sheldon merged with John Boyd and was renamed Cowans-Boyd. Hit by a decline in heavy industry. Saint Nicholas Works closed 1987; works demolished February 1989. [now a retail park] Design and sales team move to Carlisle Enterprize Centre, James St

COWEN, HEYSHAM AND CO Currock near Botchergate. Partnership agreement of January 7th 1802 between John Heysham, John Richardson, John Dand, Jacob Cowen and Joseph Faulder ‘to become co-partners in the trade of cotton spinners or manufactures of cotton twist’. An additional partner, Thomas Atkinson, joined in April. The agreement said that this ‘was to be carried out under the name of Jacob Cowen, Heysham and Co....and that Jacob Cowen should be employed as manager’. The new mill opened in January 1803. John Heysham withdrew in 1820 and Jacob Cowen went into partnership with his sons Robert and George under the name of R.and G.Cowen and Co. Jacob Cowen withdrew from the partnership in 1833 leaving his sons to run the Carlisle and Dalston mills. After some years the firm reverted to the name Jacob Cowen and Sons. By 1845 the Cowens had withdrawn from the Currock Mill and it was occupied by Messrs Lowthian and Parker. With partnership changes this had become Messrs Lowthian, Fairlie and Co by 1857. In 1872 this site was purchased by the Joint Station Committee for the enlargement of the Citadel Station [CN 20.02.2009 p32]

March 1823 The local press reported on the opening of the Carlisle Canal that ‘Messrs Cowen, Heysham and Co, Carlisle, had a lot of cotton on board the Miss Douglas. She salied frrom Liverpool on Sunday evening, the 9th inst, about seven oÕclock, 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 a 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.

TH Bainbridge was head at the Creighton in the 1940s. He was good at caining. All the other teachers had a go at you but he was the only one who cained; the others just hit you with their hand. One teacher was called ‘Clocker’ Clarke. He taught English and would slap you across the face. He explained that he wouldn’t slap you on the ear; because that may result in deafness, so he’d catch you on the cheek; considerate. Big Ben, Mr Bennett, was amiable enough unless he went berserk, then he’d pummel you. That didn’t happen very often. Dolly Watson was also quite firm, she could give you a tap. Miss Painter, the music teacher, was very mild, a frightened individual. No one thought anything about the corporal punishment; that’s just the way it was. There was no point in complaining to your parents. They’d say you must have done something to deserve it [Mr Brian Scott recalls]

The move to Comprehensive Education meant that in 1968 Carlisle Grammar School was amalgamated with two local schools, Margaret Sewell, (Girls) and the Creighton (Boys) to become Trinity School, a Church of England Comprehensive School on the Strand Road sites.

CRESCENT Built in the 1820s

D Perriam Lowther Street p13 There was a double ditch outside the 1542 Citadel. When the ditches were in-filled in 1803 to form a new entrance into the city it left a broad area which was impossible to build on. With the construction of the Court Houses, opening in 1813, gardens were planted on the former ditches. Land beyond the gardens was purchased by William Gate, a builder, and it was he who developed the Crescent in 1820 to form a new link between the newly laid out Lowther Street and Botchergate.

Robert Hogg wrote in 1952 ‘In 1936, during the construction of the houses on the north side of Croft Road, several Roman cineary urns were found. These discoveries almost certainly mark the cemetery site of the Roman Fort at Stanwix’

CROSS Market Cross, Carel Cross Built 1682 (dated and inscribed Joseph Reed Mayor 1682 ); circular flight of 5 steps [6th now buried] from the centre of which rises a pillar surmounted by a lion sitting holding a scroll with the city arms; sundial faces on top of pillar; mason’s marks on the main sundial face ‘ATM’ and has Ordnance Survey bench mark on the top step; on site of earlier medieval market cross; Denis Perriam suggests that the lion represents the Royal authority granted through charters for the City to hold markets

1835 Nutter painting shows cross with lamps [175 Years of Carlisle front cover]. There was no public clock in Carlisle, other than that in the Cathedral, so in 1682 this was the first public timepiece. It may have been used to tell the time for the opening of the street market. The Great Fair is proclaimed from the Cross, as is each monarch. Before mass communication the Cross was an information point. Public proclamations were made from the Cross; here Bonnie Prince Charlie had his father proclaimed King of Britain in 1745. The Bellman would stand and make announcements from here and bills would have been stuck on the sides of the plinth, usually civic notices. Rudd women sold their wares from the steps of the cross. All road measurements are also to the Cross. The Cross also is a boundary marker between the parishes of St Mary’s and Saint Cuthbert’s

CROSSWAYS, Harraby

Council housing built in the 1950s by Laings using their Easiform concrete construction. [no 26 is an example of this build] In the 1950s Laings built council houses in new Harraby [and through the rest of the country] using their Easi-form concrete construction method [see Crossways in Harraby as an example]. This was a non-traditiional construction which was used post war into the 1960s, a housing solution which was fast, cost effective and widely adopted by local authorities, MOD and other social housing organisations. Cast in-situ concrete or pre-fabricated concrete panels were used in the build, inside and outside walls were 75mm thick with a 50mm cavity. This outside was then rendered making it difficult to identify Easi-form houses. Easi-form came in many different styles; bungalows, semi detached, apartment blocks. There were other non-traditional concrete construction designs, some of poor quality. Easi-form is generally accepted as one of the better types

Perriam Denton Holme p36 Denton Holme estate. On the formation of the Cumberland Cooperative Benefit Society in 1851 a resolution was passed to ‘support the industrial classes of Carlisle’. The object was to ‘purchase land...and apportion it to allotments suitable for building...at the price it cost the society’. This could be done by members paying as little as 6d per week for a plot which would cost £25. Land was purchased by the society from Joseph Rome in 1852 and ‘the ground was assigned by ballot to 71 members.....and by the end of 1854 a considerable number of houses had been erected in Westmorland, Cumberland and Dale Street as part of the project’

CUMBERLAND HERALD OR CARLISLE INTELLIGENCER

Newsplan knows of no known locations in Cumbria or at the British Library Newspaper Library in London. References in the Carlisle Journal show that it was printed by Jollie in September/ October 1807. The Carlisle 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 Phoenix from its ashes, the yellow paper again rose, under a different proprietorship in the present Carlisle Patriot. [J.S.Lough The Retrospect, B279]

 

CUMBERLAND INFIRMARY

So marked on Asquith’s map of 1853

See also NORTH CUMBRIA ACUTE TRUST; RADIO ECHO (Hospital Radio);

Ashlar front of eleven bays, with a giant tetrastyle portico of Greek Doric columns carrying a pediment. Wreaths in the frieze. 15.11.1828 a letter appeared in the Carlisle Patriot addressed to the Mayor, whose attention was drawn to the necessity for a Public Infirmary in Carlisle and requesting him ‘to call a public meeting and be the immediate instrument of procuring for the poor citizens of Carlisle and neighbourhood one of the greatest benefits that Affluence has the power of conferring upon Poverty and Misery’; awaiting such a purpose was a legacy of 1,000 pounds from the late Thomas Parker of Warwick Hall. Public meeting to establish a hospital 27.11.1828 at which offers of another 800 pounds were made; foundation stone laid 01.10.1830; architect Richard Tattersall, contractors Messrs Robinson and Bennet of Preston; foundation stone laid ,by Sir J.R.Graham on 01.10.1830, a vase containing coins, papers etc was deposited in a cavity of the stone. During the Thursday night following this ceremony, the foundation stone was removed, and the urn containing the coins etc taken away. The stone was re-laid by the workmen on 18.11.1830. Completed in November 1832 but patients not admitted until 03.08.1841 following a prolonged legal battle over the estimate; Dr Barnes was appointed Honorary Physician. Mary Matthews was appointed Matron on 25th August 1841 at the first Committee Meeting, her wages were 3 pounds per quarter. A nurse, Isabella Gibson, was also appointed at 7 shillings a week; W.B. Page appointed surgeon on 15.11.1841 and arrived early in January 1842. Prospective patients were seen on Wednesdays at 11am on the recommendation of subscribers. After examination by the Committee and the Medical Staff and much careful questioning by the Committee who made sure that each applicant was a suitable object of charity, they were admitted; Emergencies however could be admitted at any time; ether was first used to make people unconscious during operations sometime between 1842-5. a medical pupil volunteered to be the first ‘victim’, then the operation was successfully repeated on a young lady whose knee had to be ‘cupped’; expenses were greater than income and in 1847 a Bazaar was organised and it raised 1,227 pounds and 12 shillings. In this year gas and piped water were installed. In 1860 the number of inpatients rose to 416 and outpatients to 2,722 but the hospital was still in debt; remembering his stay in the hospital in 1860 Mr Irving of Kingstown recalled that there were two nurses, one upstairs and one downstairs. An old woman saw that all was well at night and often sat by the fire smoking a clay pipe; new west wing completed 1873 and new out patients department completed on the east of the central block; a large fund raising bazaar was organised in Autumn 1877 and it was opened by Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise. A ward was named in her honour. 1891 new building for the nursing staff erected over the out patients wing and was opened by Lady Muncaster in 1894; 24.09.1908 Princess Louise lays foundation stone of new wing, and she also opened another fund raising Bazaar which ran from the 24th to 26th September; opening of new wing on 28.10.1911 by Countess Lonsdale. Walls of children’s ward were decorated with Doulton tiles depicting nursery rhymes, the gift of Mrs Robinson of Green Lane, Dalston, a relative of Dr Henry Barnes. Under the Road Traffic Act 1929, the Infirmaries were to get more payment for road accidents. New out-patient department opened on 07.02.1929; new wards and new pathological laboratory opened on 31.07.1930 by Lord Howard of Penrith. In 1932 the hospital was busier than ever and about 1,300 pounds in debt. In 1944 4097 patients were admitted to the Infirmary. On 5th July 1948 voluntary hospitals were transferred to the new National Health Service and the last meeting of the Governors took place on July 18th 1948. In 1964 a project team began planning in earnest for the provision of a new district general hospital. Proposals submitted and given final approval in 1965. Sketch plans for phase 1 of the project approved 1968 and architects Charles Pearson appointed. Full working drawings completed in 1971 and a tender of £1,684,000 approved. Building began August 1971. Foundation stone of new development laid by Princess Anne on 27.04.1972. Topping out ceremony 06.06.1973 performed by student nurse Vivienne Ann Black. Building handed over to Cumbria Area Health Authority in November 1974. The medical and surgical wards were the first to admit patients on 10.02.1975. The total cost of the building and equipment was over £2.5m . New extension opened 17th June 1975 by Princess Anne; The new six storey block provided 244 beds [giving a total of 463 beds]. Man contractor Derek Crouch Construction, project architects Charles B.Pearson and Partners. In 1981 the number of beds in use on the hospital were 445. In this year there were 11,760 in-patients and 70,150 out-patients. In 1841-42 the figures were respectively 76 and 305. In 1842 there were one Honorary Physician, one Honorary Surgeon and a House Surgeon. in 1982 there were 50 consultants and 40 junior medical staff and Specialists who paid regular visits. New hospital officially opened 16.06.2000 by Tony Blair. Built under Private Finance Initiative Scheme by Llewelyn-Davies.

CUMBERLAND STREET Laid out for the Cumberland Co-operative Benefit Building Society in 1853; northern county names in this area [CRO CA/E 4 2107]

CAIH p35 Denton Holme Millrace

Perriam Denton Holme p36 Denton Holme estate. On the formation of the Cumberland Cooperative Benefit Society in 1851 a resolution was passed to ‘support the industrial classes of Carlisle’. The object was to ‘purchase land...and apportion it to allotments suitable for building...at the price it cost the society’. This could be done by members paying as little as 6d per week for a plot which would cost £25. Land was purchased by the society from Joseph Rome in 1852 and ‘the ground was assigned by ballot to 71 members.....and by the end of 1854 a considerable number of houses had been erected in Westmorland, Cumberland and Dale Streets as part of the project’. Pages 103 and 109 photos of the street before and during demolition in 1975 to make way for Cumberland Court council flats.

So marked on Asquith’s 1853 map. 3 buildings marked on street

CURLING CLUB, CARLISLE Curled at Moorville

D. Perriam Stanwix p78 Mr Thomas Armstrong advertised in 1879 that he had opened a select skating pond adjoining the Carlisle Curling Club’s pond at Moorville. The club had been set up in 1878. So confident was the Carlisle Curling Club of its future in 1910 that they paid Messrs WG Walker and Sons of Edinburgh £160 for making four new artificial ponds at Moorville, when previously they had relied on the nearby brickfield ponds. A game, perhaps the last, was noted in 1912
