No1 Including Intergral Shop

No. 1 including an integral shop is a building located on Castle Street in Carlisle, constructed in the mid-1890s for WM Hill and Sons, painters. It features rough-dressed sandstone with ashlar dressing, a string course, and modillions. The hipped roof is covered with graduated slate, and there are original red brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has five bays on a semicircular corner site.

The central corner-shop window is original and divided into panels, with the upper panels featuring rounded arches of stained glass in a floral pattern, while the lower panels are made of wood. To the right, there is a panelled door with an overlight in a stone surround. Sash windows are present in moulded quoined surrounds, which continue over the shop and onto the Finkle Street facade. The interior has not been inspected.

An earlier house was demolished in 1892 to widen Finkle Street, and No. 1 does not appear in Kelly's Cumberland Directory from 1894, but it was present by 1897.
