HERE at Newsquest we wanted to show you what life was like in Brampton many years ago.
This small town lies just north of the Lake District National Park and is just a stones throw from Carlisle and Hadrian's Wall.
Brampton has a population of just over 4,000 and in the centre of the town is Moot Hall which was built in 1817.
East of the town is an exceptionally large motte, about 135 feet high. On it is a statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle.
Talkin Tarn Country Park lies two miles south-east of Brampton on the Castle Carrock road. There is a 65 acre lake set amid 120 acres of farmland and woodland.
St Martin’s Church, located in the town, is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb.
These photos show what life was like in the town in years gone by. We hope that they help to bring back some fond memories for some of you.
