Carlisle Cemetery
Carlisle Cemetry is located on Dalson Road, with an entrance on Richardson Street in Carlisle. The cemetery laid out in 1855 with offices, chapels, and lodges designed J.W.H. & J.M. Hay of Liverpool.
Carlisle Joint Burial Board purchased land on Spital Moor in 1854 and a plan was prepared by the City Surveyor, Hugh McKie in 1855 (Perriam, nd). Lodges and chapels were erected in 1855-6 to the designs of J W H & J M Hay. The cost was £14,000. The site was extended to the south of the Fairy Beck in 1885-7 (Brooks 1989) and again to the south in the mid to late-C20. (Historic England)
