George Street, Wigton
These houses are in the centre of Wigton. Their condition in the 1970s bordered on unfit for human habitation. However, they were saved from condemnation by a change of approach in housing policy. Instead of being cleared, they were improved. They are now ideal low-cost homes, close to all amenities. Together with sympathetic modern infill development, they contribute variety to the streetscape of this interesting market town (birthplace of Melvyn Bragg).

Thomlinson Junior School
The two-storey building on the left, Westmorland House, was originally a private residence, built around 1799 and extended in 1815. The taller building on the right was added in the late 19th century, when the Thomlinson Girls' Grammar School opened here. This merged with the nearby boys' school in the 1950s, to become the Nelson Thomlinson Grammar School. The Thomlinson Junior School moved here in 1968, after the secondary school vacated the site. For more information, see the school's website http://www.thomlinson.cumbria.sch.uk/index.php?category_id=103 .
