Skiddaw Building, University of Cumbria
The University of Cumbria was established in August 2007, but this building on the Fusehill Street Campus is obviously a bit older. It was opened in 1864 as the Carlisle Union Workhouse, and served as a military hospital during two World Wars. In 1938 the Workhouse buildings were converted to a municipal hospital, which became the City General under the NHS. Patient care transferred to the modern Cumberland Infirmary in the late 1990s and the site was taken over by St. Martin's College, one of the amalgamated institutions of the new University.
For more information on the history of the Carlisle Workhouse, and many others, see : http://www.workhouses.org.uk/

Red brick terraced houses
This part of Carlisle has many streets of terraced houses, presumably all of which were built at approximately the same time. They do not all look the same, however. This terrace in Fusehill Street is unlike most others because it is built of red brick. The junction on the far right is with Grey Street.
