Old Cumberland Infirmary


The original Cumberland Infirmary on Newtown Road in Carlisle was built 1830-1832 by Richard Tattersall, funded by wealthy benefactors, and made available for charity patients. The old building is still in use by the NHS next to the modern hospital complex. The building is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England. The entrance gate piers and wall at the east of the old Infirmary building, on Infirmary Street, are Grade II listed. The entrance gateway is thought to date from the 1930s, built when an extra storey was added to the main building. Previously there had been an entrance with a long drive from Newtown Road.
