Description


CARLISLE

NY4056 BRIDGEWATER ROAD 671-1/7/62 (East side) Wall, railings and piers to west of the Sands Sports Centre

GV II

Wall, railings and piers for Cattle Market, now around Sports Centre. Probably 1895. Low chamfered red sandstone wall surmounted by heavy cast-iron speared railings, each alternate rail having a speared ball finial, with interval columns. Red sandstone end piers of squared shaft with round chamfered angles on moulded plinth and modillioned segmental capitals. The railings are stepped in sections with the slope. When the Eden Bridge was widened in 1932, these railings would be set back from their original position and are beside the ramp parallel with the bridge giving access to Swifts Bank. See under Newmarket Road for another section of these railings.
