That's what it said on the water tank. I wonder what it is now?

Site of "Graham's Queens Brewery" - December 2016
Opened in 1860 and also sometimes known as Queen's Brewery (Graham's), the brewery was fronted by the Queens Head Inn and the Royal Oak Inn (approximately where I am standing). The brewery came under State control in September 1916 and was almost immediately closed, the buildings being demolished in 1928/29. The Queens Head was closed in 1918, while the Royal Oak became an off-licence by 1920 and was demolished in 1987. It is not clear what use was made of the brewery site in the years between 1929 and the construction of Sainsbury's circa 2005.
Sainsbury's wine and spirit shelves are situated on the approximate site of the "William James MP" pub, which closed in 1912!
Alex advises "Usage in the 1960's and 1970's the site was the location of Fred Proudfoots banana ripening rooms, potato bagging and also his HGV repair workshops".

Sainsbury's is closed today
Flooded supermarket in Church Street, in the Caldewgate district of Carlisle.
The water is not very high, looking at the trolleys, but it had already dropped from maximum.

Flooding at Sainsbury's supermarket
The water is not terrifically deep at this stage, but it is covering a low fence which separates the car park from Bridge Lane (right of shrubs and trolley shelter).
Sainsbury's was not there when Carlisle experienced its last major flood in 2005 - the store opened in 2012.

The gantries mark the position of the West Coast Main Line railway, submerged beneath floodwater from the River Caldew. The river's normal channel is to the left of the railway, beside the buildings at the Old Brewery.
Devonshire Walk car park is on the right.
