Former gatehouse to Carlisle Canal Basin

  • Description

    "The Carlisle Canal ran from here to Port Carlisle http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/933220 . It was only open for 30 years (1823-1853), then it was filled in to become a railway line. For history, see http://www.canalroutes.net/Carlisle-Canal.html . Some of the original buildings at the canal basin, including the bonded warehouse and customs house, survived until the mid 1970s-early 1980s. The Port Road Business Park was created on the site, and now only the gatehouse remains. McVitie's (formerly Carr's) biscuit factory is behind the house, with the Jovial Sailor pub on the right."
