Christ Church once stood here, the fairly substantial building had a tower with a spire, which appears in this photo c.1910 http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5650/2232/1600/c6.18.jpg (from "Carlisle Postcards" blog http://carlislepostcards.blogspot.com/ ). The church was consecrated in 1830 and demolished in 1953. There are still a few headstones around the sides of the park. Another view from Botchergate here Image . The block of flats on the right is called The Picture House, built on the site of the disused Palace Cinema which was destroyed by fire in 2004.
