Many pub photos are available from the Carlisle Pubs page.

• The Athenaeum, (now a bank), opened in 1840. It was originally equipped with a lecture theatre, museum, exhibition and concert rooms, and housed the Mechanics' Institution. Also in this view is Finnegan's Wake pub, originally the main Post Office, and when first converted into a pub, the Gretna Tavern.
• Cathedral, abbey gate, outer and inner view, east window, and fratry, and the fratry from the rear.
• Old cannons, on the castle walls, still point towards Scotland.
• Carvings, protected behind glass in the 3^rd floor of the keep, were at one time believed to have been carved by prisoners, but are now more usually ascribed to bored soldiers.
• Castle curtain wall and keep.
• Castle gateway, and a close-up showing the portcullis.
• One of the storerooms in the castle keep.
• The castle magazine.
• The well in the wall of the keep, accessible here from the outside. It also has access from within the keep, at a different level.
• The castles inner gateway, from inside the inner-ward of the castle.
• The Half-Moon Battery, protecting the inner-ward gateway. This picture demonstrates that the parade ground level has been raised significantly since the battery was built. The large building behind the battery now houses the Cumbrian Archive.
• Charlotte Street Congregational Church.
• Citadel.
• Citadel Station, seen from the western tower.
• The Congregational church (1843) in Lowther Street, and the plaque (of particular interest to Americans).
• Dixon's chimney, and a full length view of the mill, and the chimney following its lengthy restoration.
• The Eden Bridge, with the hideous Civic Centre behind; the river is very high here. A short distance to the east are to be seen the foundations of an earlier bridge, believed by some scholars to be Roman.
• The Grammar School entrance (now Trinity Upper School).
• Guild Hall, or Redness Hall.
• Holy Trinity Church, Caldewgate. Photo taken in 1981, prior to its demolition the following year. © George Ganley.
• Holme Head mill.
• The former Methodist Central Hall, in Fisher Street. John Wesley preached here, as a plaque explains. Now closed, proposed uses include conversion to a theatre.
