Relics of the past

I’ve been “looking up” as I walk around Carlisle,  and  it’s amazing what can be discovered.  Particularly interesting are “Ghost signs”: a tell-tale reminder of the city’s past, along with decorative panels and dates relating to a bygone time when the city was growing and the mark of success was building a temple of stone. Clearly the exuberance of post war planners in the progressive decades has had a lasting impact, with many of the city’s older building and streets razed to the ground in the name of progress. But thankfully, some small pockets of history remain to be celebrated
