11. A History of Longtown and District Volume One 'The Olde Border Town'
£15.00
Gordon L. Routledge
Longtown has a troubled history influenced by its location so close to the border with Scotland and nestling on the edge of what were the notorious ‘Debateable Lands.’ It was a place of great importance during the days when pack horses and stage coaches were the only means of transport between England and Scotland. The township evolved by the ford on the River Esk, probably along the original Roman route and at one of the great passes leading northwards into the wild and untamed regions of Caledonia. . . . more

20. St Michael's Church, Workington : Excavation of an Early Medieval Cemetery
£20.00
John Zant, Adam Parsons
In September 1994, the parish church of St Michael, Workington, was badly damaged by fire, reducing the interior to a shell. The church's history extends back to at least the twelfth century, and an existing collection of eighth- to eleventh-century sculpture hinted at more ancient origins. Therefore, before reconstruction began, a programme of archaeological works was undertaken, yielding further, highly significant, evidence for an early medieval Christian presence on the site, including fragments of sculpture and a large number of burials, as well as information on the later medieval and post-medieval churches, and their associated cemetery. . . . more

£25.00
John M. Zant, Christine Howard-Davis
In the mid-1970s, Carlisle City Council finalised proposals for the redevelopment of the Lanes, a densely built-up area in the north-east corner of the city's historic core, which, at the time, was crossed by 19 narrow lanes or vennels. These were to be swept away, and the area cleared, for the construction of the Lanes shopping centre. Previous archaeological work had confirmed the existence of complex Roman and medieval deposits in this part of the city, most of which would be destroyed by the new development. . . . more
