City

The article has not mention that carlisle is a city, although the wider borough holds the city status many other in a similar position such as preston mention that they are a city. Currently as it currently only says county town which would imply that Carlisle is a town when it is not.C. 22468 Talk to me 12:54, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's because it's the borough which holds city status; the difference between the two is illustrated by the fact the settlement has a population of about 72,000 while about 101,000 live in the borough (according to the 2001 census). Nev1 (talk) 13:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be better to describe it as 'Carlisle Cathedral city and the County Town of Cumbria as just having the world County Town implies its a town.C. 22468 Talk to me 13:40, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say the whole "but the 'city' title applies to the whole area" reasoning just strikes me as ultra-pedantism in the extreme. Does anyone honestly think that when the title city was given to carlisle or when rejigged in 1974 it was meant to imply 400 sq miles of sheep grazing rather than the built-up area? Surely it makes more sense to say the area is administered by the city of carlisle (through carlisle city council) rather than actually being the city of carlisle? AnonymousCoward (talk) 10:54, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The district is due to be abolished and merged so it will be interesting to see what happens to the city status? Presumably either a civil parish will be formed or it will go to a charter trustees. When more is known this should at least be added to the district article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CCHT external link

This link was added to the article after discussion on the WP Reliable Sources Noticeboard. See: WP:RSN exercise. No information from the CCHT link has been put into the body of the article in the form of citations because it has not yet been verified for 100% accuracy by the Victoria County History project for Cumbria. (This will take some years to do). Laplacemat (talk) 10:47, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arthurian legend

The following sentence is a non sequitur; I've moved it here in the hope that something might be gleaned from it...

Because Carlisle meant so much to King Arthur, it is also believed that King Arthur lived out his final days at a castle in Brittany, that has since been named the Château de Kerduel,^[1] situated a few miles from the Isle of Aval, thought to be the mythical island of Avalon.

Colin Seel Football Referee

I can't find any mention of Colin Seel who was a First Division and FA Cup Referee. Quite a celebratory in the 1970s. He grew up in Carlisle and still lives there. I think he deserves a mention. Cheryl Higham 77.102.117.160 (talk) 21:07, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her Majesty's Theatre

I know the article has cited a source but that source is wrong. The theatre was situated towards the northern end of Lowther Street opposite what is now the entrance to The Lanes Car Park. The former Littlewoods department store (now part of the M&S store) was a cinema. Penrithguy (talk) 19:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
