Nicholson Street, CARLISLE, CA2 4AD

Located beside gate to allotments, opposite the end of Regent Street. Closed in 2012, demolished late 2013 or early 2014. See photo by another contributor, taken 2013 Image

These small former public toilets stand at the southern end of St Nicholas Bridges. The visible notice, attached to the locked gate and dating from November 2012 states that the city council has sought permission to demolish the building. This photo shows that though now unmaintained and out of use, the building is still standing in November 2013.

These small, disused public toilets are located at the southern end of St Nicholas Bridges. When I took the photo a notice, dated November 2012 was attached to the gate stating that the city council had sought permission to demolish the building. This photo shows the state of the building in November 2013.

View through fence. There used to be a NACRO training centre here. It was a modern construction - still standing in 2010 when Google Street View visited https://goo.gl/maps/HcfJ9YqW6r42 .

Looking south from St Nicholas Bridges where several tracks pass under the road bridge. The tracks on the left appear to be rarely used whereas the pair of tracks on the extreme right of the photo carry the West Coast Mainline south on its way to and from London.

The two parallel lines come from Carlisle Citadel Station. Seen much more clearly than in the other scene, are the three parallel railway over-bridges, carrying respectively: the ex-LNW lines from Crown Street Goods; the WCML from Carlisle Citadel Station to Lancaster and the South; the ex-Maryport & Carlisle Cumbrian Coast lines.
