GB_17_Day_4_Carlisle_M&CR_goods_depot. Partly visible in the background of the previous picture is this building, another remarkable survivor from the early days of Britain’s railways. The sign proclaims it to be the MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY GOODS AND COAL DEPOT, which railway first ran trains to Carlisle in 1843 and ceased to be after midnight, on 31st December 1922 when it became part of the LMS. So, still standing is a 182-years old building with sign writing for a company which ceased to exist almost 103 years ago! It is today used as an events venue but sadly has not so far received ‘Listed’ status. 29th April 2025. roger.griffiths@hotmail.com
