Map 1923 Gallowbarrow Cockermouth Union Workhouse bottom left

Map Gallowbarrow Cockermouth Union Workhouse bottom left. This was the second workhouse, the first being down Skinner Street. Note the map is after 1901 when the names of the roads markeed Gallowbarrow and Sullart Street were swapped by Ordnance Survey. The workhouse was demolished in 1947/8 and replaced with Fitz View and Fairfield View flats. At the extreme bottom left is the hatching showing the sloping embankment of the railway but this has now been filled and is the Sullart Street car park. Note the Fire Engine building is now Goodfellows and the Fair Field is now site of a school.
