Looking along one of the paths between the rows of graves in Upperby Cemetery.

Vehicular access point in Manor Road. The cemetery is run by Carlisle City Council. It opened in 1881, the municipal cemetery being an extension to the parish cemetery. In the early 1930s the City Council of the day agreed to a request that Cemetery Road, Upperby be renamed Manor Road.

Drainpipe hopper dated 1930, located below the roof of the converted loggia (see Image ).

Photo taken shortly before demolition. The three bricked-up arches on this side of the building were originally part of a loggia (covered gallery with the outer wall open to the elements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loggia ), which overlooked a garden. For more information see Image .

Photo taken shortly before demolition. An application to have the building listed was turned down by Historic England for the following principal reasons (quoted from report available here http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1412030&resourceID=7 ) : * Architectural Interest: the vernacular style of the pub is typical rather than special and its appearance has been marred by the loss of the rendered exterior; * Alteration: there has been visual alteration to the exterior and structural alteration to the interior, with two former rooms opened out into one and the loggia enclosed; * Survival: very few original features, fixtures or fittings survive, being limited to a small amount of tiling and three first floor fireplaces; * Historic interest: the historic interest of the pub rests on its position as one of the family friendly pubs designed by Harry Redfern for the Carlisle State Management System, but better preserved examples survive and are protected

Located in Upperby Road, with Embleton Road on the right. For information, see Image .

Seen closed and boarded up, but the pub did reopen for a while after this photo was taken. Evidently not a viable undertaking, as the site was later sold for redevelopment.

An elaborate cartouche above the pub's front door, showing the date of construction : ANO DNI 1930. For wider view, see Image .

View to the rear of the building from Embleton Road. The garage on the right belongs to one of a small group of houses built on land formerly occupied by the pub's bowling green. For more information see Image .
