Union Court, Union Lane, Brampton
'Union' refers to the Poor Law Union, by which several parishes joined together to carry out their obligations under the Poor Law and erected what was popularly known as a workhouse on this site. The main building was behind, and was of a similar size to the present Junior School which now occupies the site. Union Court provides sheltered housing.

Disused school building, Moat Street
Built in 1856 for an expanding National School, it became a Board School in the 1870s and was enlarged to accommodate 600 pupils (Bulmer's Directory 1901 http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/1901/brampton1901_f.html ). In the earlier 20th century it was a through school, with children starting as infants and leaving at about 14.
When Brampton Junior School moved to new buildings nearby in around 1960, the Infant School remained at Moat Street. In 2008 the two schools were merged, and this site was vacated shortly afterwards.

Oval House and Terrace, Brampton
Oval House has a 'bed and breakfast' sign. It looks as if all four houses were built about the same time. Although Oval House has a verge at each end of its roof, the chimney for the first of the three smaller houses rises from the party wall. The bay windows are all in the same style, although that of Oval House has been disguised by paint.
