Steam engines on The Crescent
Not something you'd expect to see on a Saturday evening up the town.
There was a steam rally over the weekend at a local park http://www.bordercitysteamfair.co.uk/ . The selection of vintage vehicles assembled here was probably to publicise the event - though they may have just popped out for some fish and chips.

The Citadel and The Crescent, Carlisle.
The statue is to William, Earl of Lonsdale K.G. Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland and Westmoreland 1802-44. Note the e in more. Before Westmorland was absorbed into Cumbria in 1972 it had lost that e, but that was a common alternative spelling in the 1700s and early 1800s, and has transferred to the USA where it is considered correct.
