The last laundrette in town?
Poly Clean, Wigton Road.
In September 2013, this was the only laundrette I could find in Carlisle. In the early 2000s there were at least two more, in Furze Street (now Bargain Booze) and Beaconsfield Street (demolished).

Abutment of dismantled railway bridge
At the junction of Canal Street (left) and Wigton Road. The line here opened in 1837, as a goods extension from the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway's London Road depot to the Carlisle Canal basin. The bridge was rebuilt at least twice, following a collapse in 1875 and for road widening in the 1920s (see Cumberland News article 27.03.2009 http://www.cumberlandnews.co.uk/features/christmas/The-night-a-goods-train-took-the-plunge-0c1a8180-67ae-474c-b75c-f036b20090da-ds ). It ceased to be used after the Waverley Line closed in 1969, and was demolished in 1974.
