Lady Gillford's House, January 2009
Lady Gillford's House, January 2009
The house was built in 1829 as a private residence. It is a grade II* listed building - for architectural details see Images of England LinkExternal link . Previously called Petteril Bank House, now named after Lady Gillford who lived there for several years in the early 20th century.
In the mid 20th century the site was acquired by Cumbria County Council. It ran a furniture factory here for about 50 years, employing disabled people. The enterprise relocated in 2003, the workshop buildings were demolished and the house left boarded up.
When this picture was taken, work had just started to redevelop the site as an archive centre, which opened in 2011 - see NY4153 : Carlisle Archive Centre & Lady Gillford's House .
