Description
.....In 1863, the union erected a new purpose-built workhouse on Fusehill Street in Carlisle. After the new building was opened, St Cuthbert's workhouse at Harraby Hill was kept in use for the accommodation of children, while St Mary's and Caldewgate were disposed of. St Mary's later becoming Brown's Laundry and Dye Works, now demolished. Caldewgate later became St Mary's Home for Friendless Girls and was subsequently converted to private housing. The design of the new workhouse was opened to competition and attracted fifteen entries. The winning entry was designed by Henry F Lockwood and William Mawson of Bradford who were the architects of other workhouses in the north of England ....The new Carlisle workhouse accommodated 478 inmates and cost £11,195.15s.... -
