IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Warwick Mill Business Park, CARLISLE, CA4 8RR

Located at Image . The cotton spinning machinery was powered entirely by water until the installation of a steam engine in 1832 http://www.cumbria-industries.org.uk/langthwaite.htm . There is still water in the mill race.

Originally a cotton mill (established 1791), later a woollen mill, developed at the end of the 20th century as a business village providing offices, meeting rooms and workshops. More people work on the site today than when textile production ceased in 1977. The owners' website http://www.warwickmill.co.uk/index.asp includes a history of the mill. Early history, when it was called Langthwaite Mill, at Cumbria Industries http://www.cumbria-industries.org.uk/langthwaite.htm .

The path crosses the mill race built to power cotton spinning machines at Image . Visible further down the slope is another bridge, over the Cairn Beck.

View from Image . From this point the race is culverted underground, being partly exposed near the main building at Warwick Mill - see Image .

As is so often found now, the filling station on the busy A69 doubles up as the village shop.

The building on the right is part of the George Inn, demolished in 2008. The site has since been cleared, awaiting redevelopment - see Image .

A Post Office, Co-operative food store and hair salon, set back from the A69. Cleared ground on the right is where The George public house used to be. It was demolished in 2008 - compare Image . Up the lane are some houses called Low Buildings, behind them is Image .

The village of Warwick Bridge is bisected by the very busy A69 Carlisle to Newcastle road

This was built in 2003, to enable migratory fish such as salmon, lamprey, sea trout and brown trout to access spawning and nursery habitats in the upper reaches of the stream. Water flow is slowed down by metal plates set in the slope. This weir, and another upstream, had stopped the movement of fish for more than 100 years. Cairn Beck is a tributary of the River Eden.
