Basically a residential area, but with a small hospital ahead on the left.

The hospital opened in 1923. It was built to commemorate those from Brampton and surrounding parishes who died for their country in World War I. Their names (144 in total) are recorded on wooden boards inside the building - for more information, see IWM war memorials register https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/4290 and Royal British Legion, Carlisle & Stanwix Branch http://branches.britishlegion.org.uk/branches/carlisle/ww1-heroes-walk-of-honour/memorial-18-brampton-hospital-war-memorial-brampton . Still in use today, the hospital has 15 beds and provides various outpatient services. See also Image .

The hospital was opened in 1923. For a wider view of the building, see Image . Sandstone blocks at the top of the steps are inscribed 'RHODA Countess of Carlisle' and 'GEORGE 11th Earl of Carlisle'. There are at least two more inscribed stones in the lower part of the brickwork, partially obscured by vegetation. Visible parts of the names were - ? W Chance J.P. - and ? A Allison J.P. .

The front of the building forms one end of a yard, as seen in this photo Image . The Old Brewery has been converted to several business units, opened in 1997. This building looks quite old, possibly dating from when the brewery was established in 1785 - see Image .

The staith was at the end of the Brampton and Hartleyburn Railway, which was 2km long and connected to the main line at Brampton Junction station. This started as a colliery tramway, and the passenger service was by primitive carriages pulled by a horse until 1881, when the 0-4-0 'Dandie Dimont' locomotive was employed, cutting the journey time from 20 mins. to 3 mins.
