The Cumbrian city of Carlisle has a rich and colourful history.
Being so close to the Scottish border, Carlisle became a military
stronghold and its surviving eleventh-century castle bears
testament to this. During the Industrial Revolution it grew into a
major centre of textile manufacture and an important railway hub
and has long been key to North Cumbria's industry. The 'Great
Border City' remains the main cultural and commercial centre for
this part of the country and there are clear reminders of its past
everywhere. Author and historian Andrew Graham Stables takes the
reader on a fascinating A-Z tour of the city's history, exploring
its lesser-known nooks and crannies, and along the way relating
many a tale of the most interesting people and places. Fully
illustrated with photographs from the past and present, the A-Z of
Carlisle will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
