A painting by an unknown artist of the Market Place (Carlisle

became Thurnams, stationer and printers, who remained here
into the 1960s. An 1835 painting of the Market Place by WH
Nutter (Carlisle Museum) shows this as Thurnams. An 1860s
photograph (William Brown Library, Liverpool) of the James
Steel statue (qv) shows this building in the background, still
with its original ground floor. Later alteration of the ground
floor incorporated a canopy, held by the 4 brackets which
survive over the ground floor.
