The Swallow Hilltop Hotel
This photo was taken shortly after the hotel closed down - hence the concrete blocks across the entrance. A few months later it reopened under new ownership, now called the Milton Hilltop.
The building was originally a railwaymen's hostel, a stop-over for staff away from home between shifts - compare Image . In 1970 it was converted to a hotel, then called the Hilltop Motor Hotel.

Old railway sheds at Upperby Depot
A view from Hilltop Heights. There are plenty of holes in the roofs of these sheds, which we believe are empty. An impression on the ground below indicates where a circular engine shed (or roundhouse) once stood. We do not know when it was demolished, but it was built in 1948 by the newly nationalised British Railways to replace older sheds http://www.railbrit.co.uk/location.php?loc=Carlisle%20Upperby .
The square tower at the right of the horizon is St. Margaret Mary's RC Church in Currock.
Information update : the long sheds were demolished in 2016 - see Image .

Remains of reservoir wall at Hilltop Heights
Water was once drawn from the River Eden at Stoney Holme and pumped by a beam engine to a reservoir at Hilltop Heights. The pipeline ran along St Aidans Rd and Rydal St into Botchergate and then up London Rd to the reservoir. Parts of the reservoir walls still remain behind the Hilltop Hotel.
