Nos 107 to 117 Botchergate, May 2013

This row of buildings was demolished in 2015. The site has been redeveloped with offices for Cumbria County Council, which opened in autumn 2016 - see Image . The block was constructed in the early to mid 19th century. For most of its existence there were shop or business premises fronting onto the street, with residential accommodation upstairs and to the rear. A series of photos taken along Botchergate in 1961 (available at Cumbria Image Bank http://cumbriaimagebank.org.uk/ - search for Jackson TC) shows five different units on this stretch. In the 2013 view three of them have been combined into one office (with shutters), most recently used by the NHS.
