City boundary stone, Whiteclosegate (close look)

  • Description

    "For location, see [[5689499]] . Stone marker inscribed 'C.C 1912'. CC probably stands for City of Carlisle (or possibly Carlisle Corporation). In 1912 the municipal borough and civil parish of Carlisle was extended, taking in parts of the parishes of Belle Vue, Cummersdale, Stanwix and St. Cuthbert Without, including the townships of Upperby, Harraby and Botcherby (Kelly's directory of Cumberland and Westmorland, 1914 http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/ref/collection/p16445coll4/id/278531 ). There is a similar stone on the outskirts of Harraby [[5222645]] . The carved arrow on top of the stone is an Ordnance Survey bench mark (recorded on Bench Mark Database http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm30939 )." Photo by Rose and Trev Clough, 2017.
