Carlisle Reject
Castledown House redevelopment.
Castledown House is a listed building, but no one seems to have told the English Heritage people that it's already been demolished. It was once the vicarage for St Mary in the Castle church and is said to have some connection with Alister Crowley, although I have no idea why. Legend has it that there was once a tunnel to the church from here, but the builders have found nothing to substantiate that.
I don't know much about Castledown House, but remember it as an abandoned, derelict eyesore. The London Gazette records it as a guest house and its owner going bankrupt in 1967, but I'm sure it was already abandoned by then. The family that lived here in WW2 lost their son, who was in the RAF, in action over Italy.
