Reduced to tears looking at all those buildings knocked down outside the castle, my nana worked in the Abby cafe ( Ethel Jacques) me and Susan the daughter of Else the owner used to play on the pinball machine when we were very young kids
What have they done to my beautiful city...tearing it down bit by bit until nothing of history is left...Damn the stupid council for being greedy and their love off tarmac! it makes me want to cry ..
It really does underline how human and beautiful old Carlisle was, and how staggeringly ugly, cheap and tawdry it has become. My city council cousin, a Labourite, voted to remove the cobblestones from the city centre : / Socialist wisdom. That civic centre may be the ugliest and most incongruous excrescence in the the country. If not an affront to public decency, it is an abdication of civic responsibility or an architectural in-joke. Insular, ignorant, vulgar and xenophobic marxists, staggering around and shagging in the street like dogs in heat. Mom left Carlisle in the early '50's. It has really slid since then, I can see.
WTF, Carlisle has kept rather a lot of its traditional buildings and there are still plenty of old lanes, arcades, the castle, the 19th century railway station and the cathedral to make the city look better than many others. The ring road had to come in the seventies as Lowther St would have choked up with traffic and The Lanes shopping centre was surely better than the what was there before. I'd sooner visit Carlisle than Workington.

I think it is somewhat tragic with all the houses that have been pulled down. :-( More fun seeing the development of houses and places :-)
Beautiful old Carlisle v. ugly modern Carlisle.
I live in Carlisle and I have one thing to say
It's coming home

How on earth can removing Cobbles be attributed to Socialism? Conservatives put people into poverty.

That song is fucking terrible, the voice is shocking and the whole is highly depressing.
It came out when I was 14 and it was awful then. The band were called Japan and they were completely up themselves.
This music blows
