EDEN BRIDGE [S] Roman Bridge; Medieval Bridge; 1601 Priestbeck Bridge, 1702 Michaelmas Quarter Sessions petitions, petition from the Scotchgate Without residents to repair Eden Bridge before winter. Water stands in large holes in the paving, this will freeze and collapse the arches. Let it be rebuilt and its repair for seven years undertaken. Priestbeck lengthened 1743; present bridge built 1812-15 to designs of Robert Smirke, this involved closing one branch of the river. Building contract went to Paul Nixson; keystone of first arch placed 05.06.1814; stone from Cove Quarry, near Gretna; a steam engine for pumping the caissons during construction was built by William Wood of Carlisle. First of the five arches completed in June 1814 whilst the fifth arch was closed in December of that year; a temporary wooden bridge was then erected across the branch of the river near the city to enable the old Eden Bridge to be dismantled and its material to be thrown into the new raised causeway. In Feb 1815 work began on the demolition of the Scotch Gate, which was also thrown into the causeway, curving towards Rickergate. The causeway was virtually another five-arch bridge across the old bed of the Eden, which was then to be cut off with embankments; building virtually completed by early 1817; over the years the south bridge was buried with controlled tipping and in 1895 it was by-passed; pedestrian tunnel 1902; bridge widened 1932, opening ceremony 27.10.1932; southern bridge demolished 1969 -70 to make way for inner ring road.

EDENTOWN

D Perriam Stanwix p43 Edentown The terraced housing was the idea of the newly formed Cumberland Co-Operative Benefit Building Society. They had three objects; investments; to furnish a loan to build or buy a house; and to provide the means of obtaining a vote. The society purchased the Edentown Estate soon after 1851 which was ‘divided into 88 allotments, which had been balloted from amongst the members, each lot containing an average of 263 sq yards at a cost of £21, including conveyancing, surveying, fencing, sewering and the making of seven new streets

ELECTIONS Excluded from the franchise prior to the reform bill of 1832 were all householders unless they belonged to the craft guilds. The bankers and manufacturers of Carlisle, the Forsters, the Lambs, the Carricks, the Fergusons, the Stoddards, the Mounseys and the Loshes, had no voice at the parliamentary or municipal elections; neither they nor their ancestors had practiced any trade which would qualify them for admission to the craft guilds and owing to the encroachments of the craft guilds nothing would give them the franchise. [Municipal Records of the City of Carlisle pp39-40] Before the reform bill of 1832 Carlisle returned 2 MPs and this remained the case up to the reform act of 1885 when the city lost one MP.

ETTERBY COTTAGE So named on 1861 census; on 1865 OS map there is a property so named and a house of that name existed in 1829. The 1847 Directory lists a Thomas Martson, hosier, home address Etterby Cottage. A typescript history of the Martson family contains an illustration of the house in the 1860s [920/MAR]. The family history says that Thomas Martson and family emigrated to the USA in 1849. When sold in 1849 the new owner, John Forster, preferred the name Etterby Villa; Elizabeth Forster changed the name to Etterby View; Etterby View sold in 1901 to Thomas Carr then to James Davidson and finally to solicitor FW Halton of Norfolk Rd who bought it around 1907-08. In 1915 he put the property up for sale ‘known as Grey House’. With no buyer FW Halton lived on here until his death in June 1965. The empty house was the subject of a public inquiry in January 1966. House demolished in 1967 and houses stand on site [CN 11.05.2007 p32 illus]

EVACUEES

I was selected for admission to Middle Street Technical School [in 2004 this is Walker Technology College, Newcastle Upon Tyne] and I started on 21st August 1939. Having just adjusted to my new situation, war was declared and on the 1st September the school was evacuated to Carlisle, where we had to share on a half day rota Creighton Central School, Morley St, Denton Holme. We settled in fairly well but the facilities were very basic, it was an old Victorian built school, no playing fields or gymnasium, set in a crowded manufacturing area and on one side across the street a huge factory Teasdale and Co the sweet manufacturers. For sporting activities outside we had to carry equipment from the school to the fields verging the River Caldew, about twenty minutes walk involved. Overall the evacuation was a bit of a shambles and by the end of 1941 many children and adults had returned to their homes, and I was one of them.

 

On arriving in Carlisle the school was taken to dispersal points where we had to wait for hosts to come and make their choice; small groups were taken by guides to various houses. There were no written lists of where we would be housed, so parents at home would wait some days before they were informed. My new abode was no 70 Westmorland St. Mrs Wood and her daughter welcomed me, and I settled in quite well and they looked after me with great care. I must say that lodgings varied, some exceptional, some dreadful, majority acceptable. Creighton School was situated about five minutes from the house and the area surrounding was quite similar to where I lived in Newcastle so I adapted quite quickly and made many friends from the local boys and girls, joining in back lane games and many adventures which included swimming in the River Caldew and football etc in the local parks and woods. Our education was badly affected, lack of equipment, half day sessions, and changes in staff, made it more difficult. Nothing was wasted, note books cut in half as were pencils, even the ink was diluted with vinegar. Text books had to be shared, so blackboard and chalk were the main tools of our education plus dedicated teachers. Thank you Carlisle for all you did for evacuees. [memories of R.Richmond, evacuee, written in 2004]

In Strawberry Terrace, Eden Town, lived two ladies who were active temperance workers, regularly handing out temperance literature in the city centre. They had two evacuees, aged 8 and 6, from the north-east billeted on them. On the first night the ladies asked the children if they wanted Horlicks or Ovaltine as their night-time drink. They eldest replied that Newcastle Brown was their usual tipple. The ladies were shocked but only ended the children’s stay when they discovered that they had carved their initials on the headboard of the bed.

 

P Hitchon Botcherby a garden village Memories of Ronnie Whitfield being a London evacuee in Botcherby for over four years

Lady who was 12 at the time recalls the evacuees arriving with gas masks around their necks, they were standing on the street waiting to get a billet. If you had a spare room they billeted a child with you. People came and picked a child, no checks, Evacuees parents wouldn’t know where their children were billeted, they had to wait to hear

 

We had two Newcastle evacuees billeted with us in Lindisfarne Street during the war. They were from very poor homes and Grandma came around and gave them a good scrubbing in the tin bath. She also deloused them. They were two brothers, the elder one being a bit of a bully. They went back home after a few months. [Brian Scott recalls]

EVERARD AND TODD Kingmoor Road

A new bus service has been instituted between [reported in the CJ 24.02.1922] the Town Hall and the top of St Ann’s Hill by Bert Everard. The first bus on this route was a very small affair resembling outwardly a baker’s van with seats each side, holding about four passengers a side. This was soon replaced by two slightly larger vehicles painted blue with ‘Old Bill’ and ‘Old Bert’ on the sides, these being the names of the proprietors Bill Potter and Bert Everard, Londoners who met in the army. There were no conductors, the fares being handed to the driver when passengers alighted. It was necessary to step on a margarine box when entering. They were joined by Robert Downs on 11.07.and he joined with William Flett Todd in November 1923, Bill Potter leaving at the end of that year. Bill Everard left in February 1925 for Canada
