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.

Ordnance Survey documents indicate that a benchmark levelled at 63.827 feet above Liverpool Datum was cut 4.14 feet above surface here during the 1843/4 Kirkby Kendal to Carlisle 1GL Survey. The mark appears to have eroded away. The surveyor's description was 'No. 385. Mark on North-west pier of Caldew-gate Railway Bridge'

Brick from old railway bridge?
This was lying about a metre away from Image . Comparing it with other people's photos, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/nottsexminer/8175252535/ and 'Old Bricks' website http://www.penmorfa.com/bricks/england4.html , it was probably made by the Bull Bridge Brick Co in Derbyshire. We couldn't find any information about when this brickworks was operating.
