Gelt Road, Brampton
It is a pity that this approach to the lovely old market town of Brampton is spoiled by these unlovely modern houses. Surely flat-roof construction should be an absolute no-no in Britain.

St Martin's Church, Front Street, Brampton
Rebuilt by Philip Webb for the Howards of Naworth, Earls of Carlisle, in 1874-8. An unconventual design using a mixture of styles. The west tower serves as a porch; it has a giant niche with a large window and below two very small two-light windows for the baptistery. The small lead spire has extensions to the north and south with pitched lead roofs. The prominent two-light north aisle windows are gabled and embattled, with the merlons climbing up and having sloping tops. The vestry has windows high up, over a bare wall, and a prominent chimney. The south aisle west window is round with tracery, and on the south side it has a pattern of alternating small rectangular windows and bare gabled stretches. The last window to the east is of three lights in Perpendicular-style. The roof slopes up from the aisle eaves to the nave ridge. The large five-light east window has flowing tracery. (Condensed from Pevsner's description)

Low Cross Street, Brampton
Seen from Front Street. This is a cross roads, with Gelt Road behind the camera. The 'cross' part of the name is because it crosses from Main Street to Front Street, and 'Low' to distinguish it from High Cross Street a little further up the valley on which the town is centred.
