HADRIAN’S CAMP Sited on the line of the Roman Wall, hence the name; Camp opened on 01.07.1939; it was constructed as a training centre for ‘all those men ready and willing to offer themselves for call-up during the first rumblings of Hitler’s war’; self contained town with huts, cook-houses, baths, gymnasium and camp hall, all this would be achieved within sixteen weeks; with a full roll-call more than 3,000 men would live in the camp; in fact there were two camps with one - the 13th A.A.[Anti-aircraft] and the 23rd Searchlight, together they would form a part of the R.A. [Royal Armoured] Militia. All such militia depots formed a part of a camp named after famous generals. The 13th AA was known as ‘Gillman’ camp and the 23rd Searchlight as the ‘Wardrop’ camp; during construction more than 1,400 men were involved in the work; in all there would be 120 huts, constructed on brick foundations, served by two and a half miles of roads and thirteen miles of drains; after the war used for national service training with the Royal Armoured Corps; next it became an Army Apprentice School, the first two hundred Army Apprentices, aged between 15-18, arrived by train at Citadel Station, on 11th January 1960; first Commandant Colonel Gladwin; St Eligius was dedicated as the Anglican church, converted from a gymnasium; St George’s became the home of all Free Church members; the school became a college in 1966; Last Army apprentice recruits passed out in July 1969; in its nine years of existence 2,378 Apprentices were trained; the final demolition of the buildings took place in January 1971, buildings and fitments were sold, the camp church was given a new lease of life as a garage near Newcastle; in June 1989 a travellers caravan site was developed on the site.

HANDLOOM WEAVERS
see also COTTON INDUSTRY, WEAVERS
Until the introduction of the power-loom to textile manufacturing in the late 1820s every piece of cloth had been produced on the handloom. In the early part of the nineteenth century, after agricultural workers and domestic servants, the handloom weavers were the third largest occupation in the United Kingdom. The weaving trade had enormously been boosted in the cotton manufacturing districts of Lancashire, central Scotland, the North East and the Carlisle area by the increasing production of yarn from the spinning mills in the late 18th century. The 1790s marked the emergence of Carlisle as an important textile manufacturing centre
Those were the days [1800s] when hand-loom weaving was a thriving and popular occupation in Carlisle and the surrounding villages. The most familiar sounds to be heard within a radius of twenty miles or more around Carlisle were the whirr of the bobbin-wheel and the buzz and click of the shuttle. At the time the average weekly wage of a common labourer in this district was eight shillings; a weaver, however, assisted by his wife and family, could earn over twenty shillings a week, Thus hand-loom weaving was a labour in which women and children as well as men could engage, and one which could be carried on at home, with emoluments comparatively generous, many families adopted the occupation. Looms were set up in the kitchens of many cottages, or a room was devoted entirely to the looms, at which father, mother, and children worked. In other cases, squads of two, three, or even six men would rent a room on the ground floor of a tenement, and, fixing up their apparatus, establish there a weaving shop, their products being delivered weekly to Messrs Dixon at their Peter Street warehouse [Centenary Ferguson Brothers, 1824-1924 pp20-21] On the 1841 census there are 454 people living in the district of Upperby, of these 88 give their occupation as weavers [in the main I presume handloom weavers]

Woods 1821 Map of Carlisle marks the land to the north of the ‘New Road’[ which became Corporation Road sometime before 1851] as ‘Properties of the Corporation’; that to the south of the road being owned by the Duke of Devonshire. An area around here is still called ‘Hangmans Close’ on the 1821 map.

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-traditional 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

HARRABY ESTATE [East of London Road] Lingmoor Way was one of the first streets to be built on the new estate, first appearing on the 1948 electoral register. After the war the council embarked upon a scheme for an entire new neighbourhood in the Harraby area. By September 1958 2,029 council houses were erected on the New Harraby Residential Estate. The Harraby Residential Neighbourhood was designed to ultimately house a population of 9,000. The estate was to offer all the necessary facilities, with shopping centre, parks, cinema, schools, churches, community centre, pubs, pensioners’ bungalows and old people’s homes. Council housing built in the 1950s by Laings using their Easiform concrete construction. In the 1950s Laings built council houses in new Harraby [and through the rest of the country] using traditional and their Easi-form concrete construction method [see 26 Crossways in Harraby as an example]. This was a non-traditional 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. The post war housing programme of the City Corporation included the provision of bungalows for the elderly people, and at Harraby these have been sited mostly on corner sites. One of the advantages of sitting them in these positions is to form a screen giving privacy to back gardens along both roads meeting at the corner, and at corners where there are no bungalows, brick walls have been constructed.

HARRISON, John The earliest example of printing which was definitely produced in Carlisle is a large Bible produced by John Harrison of Scotch St., who began printing it in 1776. The 92 parts were issued to subscribers over 2 years. Harrison soon moved to Newcastle and then London. 1777 An Essay on Human Nature, printed by J.Harrison, Carlisle for the author
HARRISON, L and A Scotch Street
Lancelot Harrison, born 1758, turned to gunsmithing while living in Dalston in 1799. By July 1807 he had moved into Carlisle. He died on September 3rd 1826. He had three children, Thomas and Lancelot and Mary Ann. Thomas moved to London and Lancelot entered into partnership with his sister to continue the business. The partnership was dissolved in July 1832 and Lancelot was joined in the business by his London born nephews Thomas and William and their sister Ann, who had married her cousin, Joseph Crozier Harrison, also a gunsmith. Thomas and William took over the business in July 1840 and Lancelot moved to Penrith, where he died in 1880. The two brothers continued to run the shop in Scotch Street. In July 1879 they announced they were moving into new premises on 6 - 8 Bank Street. It was there that William died in 1891. William left his share in the firm to his nephew and namesake William Harrison so the firm continued as T and W Harrison. Thomas Harrison died in May 1904 aged 91. After this his nephew took no further part in the business and it was offered for sale in January 1905. The stock in trade of Messrs Harrison was bought by their one time gunsmith G.Creighton and circa 1915 the tools and stock were bought by Robert Raine of Botchergate [CN 24.12.2009 p26]
Gunmakers [the Harrision family of gunsmiths flourished between 1807 and 1906 when the firm had ceased trading; the business was carried out by Lancelot, Lancelot and Ann, Thomas and William and lastly Thomas Harrison]; Thomas Harrison, gunmaker, aged 40, employing 4 men, born London, home address 10 Scotch St [1851 census]; Thomas and William Harrison, aged 76 and 74, both gunmakers, both born Holborn, London, home Bank Street [1891 census]

HIGHER GRADE SCHOOL Opened March 1899 for boys aged 12 and over. It was a school specially designed to provide an extended and better education for clever working class children leaving Board Schools at 13 and not having the means to go on to the boys Grammar School or Girls’ High School, both of which had their own entrance exams and were fee paying. In August 1899 a Pupil Teachers’ Centre added; in 1900 girls admitted to Higher Grade School; by 1914 the school had moved to the top part of Lowther Street Board School; Margaret Forster comments on her mother’s time at the Higher Grade School in Lowther St ‘Lily loved the Higher Grade, there was no need for caning or any kind of brutality there. Discipline was no problem in spite of the hopelessly inadequate classroom arrangements [with three classes often sharing one room]. The peace and bliss after the hurly-burly of the Board School were bliss and she made rapid progress.’ [Margaret Forster Hidden Lives p44-5] Higher Grade School split into Boys and Girls School; boys’ school transferred to Denton Holme School, Morley Street, in 1920 and called ‘The Creighton’; girls section remained in Lowther Street and called Margaret Sewell; see both these schools.
Higher Grade Schools in 1936/7/8 were referred to as the proposed/ new Central Schools on the Swifts

HIGHMORE HOUSE; English Street. Known as the Earl’s Inn after the medieval owner of the building, the Earl of Northumberland, it took its new name on being occupied by Benson Highmore. The house has belonged to the Read Family and Benson Highmore married Mary Read in St Cuthbert’s in 1723. Divided in two, the other half occupied by Joseph Potts in a 1740 survey of English Street. The Carlisle Patriot of 1895 stated that Highmore House was the residence of Joseph Potts, who had married a daughter of Charles Highmore and who died in 1793. He was succeeded at Highmore House by his son William Potts who died in 1821 aged 84. The house was offered for sale and bought in 1848 by William Wright a draper, and it was he who converted the greater portion of the house into a shop. [CN 16.10.2009 p32]
Where both Prince Charles Edward Stewart and then the Duke of Cumberland slept during the 1745 Rebellion; called Highmore House after Charles Highmore, well known Carlisle attorney who lived here in 1745, at that time the house was known as Earl’s Inn, previously the residence of the Earls of Egremont [CJ 04.12.1934];bought by W.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS 06.05.1882 leading citizens meet to consider the education of girls in Carlisle with a view to promoting the establishment of a branch of the Girls Public Day School Company in Carlisle. 14.08.1882 it was agreed to accept the offer of the Girls Public Day School Company to establish a school in the city, a sister school to others throughout the country. Opened 15.01.1884 at 19 Castle Street; under the headship of Miss Bain. 1892 - 1902 Headmistress Miss Beevoir; 1902 - 1912 head Miss Gardiner; new school opened in Lismore Place 06.05.1909 and the school passed from the hands of the Girls Public Day School Company to those of the Cumberland County Council Education Committee. At that time Carlisle was not a county borough and all secondary education was in the hands of the county. So the County High School came into being. The architect for the new building was George Hastwell Grayson of Liverpool and it was built by the Cumberland Education Committee at a cost of £18,000; the land being bought from the Duke of Devonshire. Miss Bevan head 1912 - 1929. After the death of Canon Rawnsley [ died 1920] who was a school governor ,funds were raised in his memory, a portion of which endowed a Prize at the school. The Carlisle Directory for 1913-14 says ‘the school provides for Girls a sound and liberal education on public school lines’.
‘The High School was undisputedly the best school for girls in the whole area and a certain number of places were set aside for scholarship girls. Lily never applied, perhaps for the very reason that the High School was superior - it was no place for a working class girl, however clever’ [Margaret Forster talking about her mother in her book Hidden Lives p45] Fees at the time were £3 6s 8d per term for 12 years and over, 7 - 11 years £3 per term; under 7s, kindergarten, £2 per term. There was a boarding house in connection with the school. Miss Wilson head 1929 - 1952. The 1934 Carlisle Directory says ‘Carlisle and County High School for Girls. A Public Secondary School for Girls, under the Regulations of the Board of Education, provided and maintained by the County Borough of Carlisle and the County of Cumberland, with Preparatory Department for Girls and Boys under eight. School fees, £10 per annum; pupils from outside Cumberland £15 per annum. Hostel - Boarders are received at the School Hostel, 15 Portland Square’. The 1944 Education Act introduced the 11 plus examination nationally. This was to determine which form of secondary school was suitable for children. The debate on comprehensive education began in Carlisle in the 1950s. Miss Cottrell head 1952 - 1959; Miss Chreseson head 1960 - 1964 and Miss Charlton 1964 - 1970. Became comprehensive school St Aidans September 1970. 2009 demolition of buildings.

‘It’s 1956, and Standard Three at Bishop Goodwin junior school is keyed up to take the Merit. It was drummed into us at school that passing the Merit was your passport to everything a good education could give. Passing the Merit and going to the city’ s high school for girls was the ultimate accolade and only a few were able to have this opportunity. My Mum and Dad had never had a chance to carry on their education even though my Father won a scholarship to the grammar school, and deep down I knew they wanted me to have the chance they never had. My recollection is that there were three sections to the Merit - English, Arithmetic and Intelligence and we all took the exam on the same day, My Mum was still in bed enjoying her morning cup of tea and I took the letters upstairs, not realising what it contained. She opened it and suddenly the tears came coursing down her face and she jumped out of bed. ‘You’ve passed’, she said ‘You’ve passed for the high school, just wait till I tell your Dad’. I sat down on the bed slowly, the enormity of the situation engulfing me like a huge wave. I’d passed the Merit and I was going to the high school. ‘Mam’ I said hesitatingly ‘It costs a lot of money to buy the uniform’. ‘Never mind’, she said ‘You’re going, and that’s that.’ I called for my friend ‘What did you do?’ was the excited cry and joyfully I replied ‘High School’, ‘Brainy, eh?’ she joked. ‘I’m going to the secondary modern’. The conversation was repeated time and again as we met our friends. My heart sank every time. I was the only one. I would have to go on my own, no friends to go with. It got so bad that I hardly dared answer when asked if I’d passed. My pride was quickly turning to despair. In the classroom the teacher called me and Mary to the front ‘These girls have passed for the high school’ he said with undoubted pride. Relief rose in me so hard that I thought I would choke. There was another girl - I wouldn’t have to go on my own. The uniform was bought, at what cost I’ll never know, but it was several years before Mum had a new coat. The gabardine was on the long side ‘You’ll grow into it’, and the gymslip had to be regulation length, touching the floor when you knelt down. Grey knee-socks were held up by garters. Badges were sewn on along with dozens of names tapes. A leather satchel was handed down complete with a Osmiroid pen and Lakeland pencils. I was ready [Quoted in Cumbria within Living Memory, 1994]

The master looked towards the adjoining works whilst the pupils faced the cemetery’. By the time James Lattimer had entered, the school had been enlarged with the addition of a classroom and sewing room with a cloak-room in between’.

D Perriam Stanwix p102 In 1853, following the crash of a Cornish tin mine in which he had invested JD Carr had to sell his beautiful home, Edenside, in which he had spent only seven years, for £5,900. His place was taken by Hubert Rawson, a Birmingham banker, who changed the name of the house to The Villa by 1858. Henry Carr re-claimed the house for the family in 1881. On the death of Henry Carr in 1904 the name of the house was changed back to Edenside by Carr’s sons. In 1908 the Mortons moved into the house and changed the name to Homeacres. The house was then acquired by the Chance family who lived there until about 1948. In 1949 it was acquired by Carlisle City Council for use as a school of art

HORSE TROUGH
D Perriam Stanwix p72 A trough was placed on Stanwix Brow, now [2021] in the Italian Gardens. The Carlisle Journal in October 1925 reported another trough ‘near the Eden Lawn Tennis ground’. This was in memory of Mary Bownas Dawson, an animal welfare supporter, who died in 11.06.1924 [illus]
CN 01.07.2016 Section 2 p16 Stanwix horse trough, erected in June 1913 to the memory of Miss Johnston near Stanwix Cemetery. 1930s removed from Moorhouse. Now in Rickerby Village. Miss Johnston was a sister to Miles Macinnes’s wife and a keen supporter of animal welfare. She was a founder member of the local RSPCA, perhaps inspired by her grandfather who was one of the founder of the national organisation.

1957 Memory of living at no 24 Charlotte Street. There was no running water in the house; you went out of the front door, walked along then into a back yard. That’s where the shared toilets were and there was the communal tap to get your water. There was no electricity in the house, just a gas mantle. Nappies had to be washed, her mother came each day to pick up the dirties, wash them in her house and bring them back the next day. And despite all this the young housewife and mother thought the house was the cats whiskers. The house was of course rented

HUDSON SCOTT James Street; on 02.07.1799 Benjamin Scott advertised the opening of his printing, bookselling and stationary business in the Market Place, at 27 English Street; 1815 first printer for the Carlisle Patriot; Benjamin Scott on his retirement in 1832 was succeeded in the business by his nephew Hudson Scott; 1837 firm produces a set of prints [local castles, priories] from the plates engraved by the Buck brothers, another set produced in 1877;1847 first apprentice in the lithographic department, one John Glaister. He recalled in 1892 that it had its birth in a cellar in English Street in which he and two or three lads worked for about three years. From there they moved into a room in Lowthians Lane, but increased business meant these premises were too small and they went on getting house after house ‘until we had the whole of one side of the lane and part of Pack Horse Lane as well’. In 1868 Hudson Scott transferred the business to his two sons, Benjamin and William Scott; Easter 1869 move from 27 English street to new premises in James St; 1876 the commencement of tin plate decorating. When tin plate decorating was first undertaken no box making was done on the premises. The decorated sheets were sold to customers who made their own boxes. One customer that they provided tin plate sheets printed by the transfer process, for their fancy biscuit boxes, to was Carrs of Carlisle. 1877 Mr HEV Baber appointed as manager, ‘a considerable capture for the company’ [WJ Reader]. He died on 04.04.1929, a director of the company. He was associated with the design of the boxes [filled with chocolate] that Queen Victoria sent out as a New Year’s present in 1900 to the troops in South Africa. He visited Windsor with Mr Cadbury to obtain the Queen’s autograph and the message ‘I wish you a happy New Year’, this message, the Queen’s portrait, and the words ‘South Africa 1900’ featuring on the lid of the box. Following this contract the company received the Royal Warrant. 1886 firm starts making metal boxes and five presses were engaged in this work by 1890. When the company started to make boxes there was a lack of storage space and the Eagle Mill was acquired, the firm going on to acquire Slater’s factory. With the introduction of tin box making there was a great demand for hinged tin lids [biscuits, tea, tobacco]. The decorated boxes displayed well and when empty were an attractive ornament. Tin box making required a good deal of hand labour; the workforce increasing from 370 in 1890 to 1,200 in 1906, of this latter figure 650 were girls and women. Automatic production methods didn’t feature at this time, the work being essentially hand done. Much of the work also involved heavy lifting, machinery was also unguarded, almost everywhere was dirty and noisy. 1889 Sir Benjamin Scott greets new employee FN Hepworth with the comment ‘We will give you every opportunity to make good – the rest is up to you’. 11.02.1891 Hudson Scott dies. 1891 first London office opened at 5 Great Winchester Street. They employed their own artists in the drawing room and their colourful designs appeared on boxes and metal advertising plates used by national and international companies. Some of the artists employed were Thomas Bushby, Paul Greville Huson,
Fred Meekley, Robert Forrester, Thomas Davidson, Joseph Dickinson and Norman Alford. 1898 limited Liability company formed; Benjamin Scott as chairman with co-directors William Hudson Scott, his brother, and HEV Baber; Mr Robert Thompson was appointed secretary. In 1900 Edwin Scott Nicholson, husband of Sir Benjamin’s only daughter joined the firm, the following year he and FN Hepworth joined the board of directors. 1906 first welfare officer, Miss Kelly, employed. Continual expansion meant that Hudson Scott by 1906 occupied properties on both the east and west sides of James Street. By 1911 the company was renting Stockdale House, Heads Nook, as a holiday and convalescent home for girls in the factory. This was retained until 1928 when they purchased another property in Gretna. Poor wages brought the girls out on strike in 1911. Their wages ranged from 5s to 7s up to 10s a week. The girls were asking for an average weekly wage of 12s a week. During the 1914-18 they took on war work; bomb and shell cases, 7 lb jam tins for the troops. They also started producing toys at a new Workington factory, a market Germany had excelled in. Post war depression lead to merger talks; 1921 amalgamated with other companies to form Metal Box. The constituent companies being Atkins and Co, Barclay and Fry, Hudson and Scott and a newly founded company Allied tin Box Makers. First meeting of the Board at the Queen’s Hotel, Leeds, 14.12.1921. The first head office was at 5 Great Winchester Street, London. At the second meeting in London on 21.02.1922 the new name Metal Box and Printing Industries Ltd was adopted.
