Old Cumberland Infirmary
The original Cumberland Infirmary on Newtown Riad 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.
