Description
CARLISLE
NY3956SE CARLISLE CASTLE 671-1/6/2 Bridge over outer moat 01/06/49
GV I
Drawbridge, converted to overbridge. Part medieval with late C18 additions and C20 part-rebuilding of parapet. Large blocks of squared red sandstone. At the base of the bridge are the drawbridge abutments; heightened between 1778-1791 and brick arch added. West solid parapet has coping inscribed by various C19 soldiers who served in the garrison; the right parapet has been rebuilt using new coping. The roadway is of Whin sets and a central sandstone pedestrian walk, all reset in the late 1980s. For full details see McCarthy et al (1990). A watercolour of Carlisle Castle by Robert Carlyle shows the arched bridge in 1791 (not on Hearne's engraving of 1778).
