A closer look at the front of this pair of houses in Etterby Street reveals their origin - see Image . Dated 1905, according to Carlisle Encyclopaedia http://www.carlisleshistory.co.uk/page27.htm they were for soldiers disabled in the Boer War. One of the houses was sold freehold in 1996, but we do not know if the regimental charity still has an interest in the adjoining property.
