Chicane on the Caldew Cycleway
A narrow spot on the Caldew Cycleway, a fine tarmac path which runs alongside the River Caldew for some 9 km from Carlisle to Dalston. It forms part of both National Cycle Route 7 (Inverness to Sunderland) and Route 10 (Cockermouth to North Shields), neither of which are in the least bit direct! The factory on the right is the Stead McAlpin Printworks specialising in textile printing.

Flood defences at Cummersdale Mills
A low wall fitted with grey flood gates. The textile printing and dying business [now Stead McAlpin] has been here alongside the River Caldew since 1835. Originally the mill would have been water-powered and later, steam. The River Caldew flows north from the northern flanks of Skiddaw and is prone to flooding. It is a tributary of the River Eden.
