| HISTORY: Nos 14-30 were built first and are shown on Asquiths Survey of Carlisle, 1853; the rest were added shortly afterwards. Dean Tait only came to Carlisle in 1850 and it was then that this new street was named. He left Carlisle to be Bishop of London in 1856 and went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury in 1868. | ||
