The gents toilet was demolished in 2013 (closer view here Image ). The lane on the left, behind Silloth Street, follows the line of a former railway which closed in 1969. This was originally the Canal Branch of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway (opened 1837, from London Road Station to Carlisle Canal Basin).
