Shopping Areas in Carlisle

Description: City streets, markets, shopping malls, large retail parks...

Newest Review: ... is that they are all close to each other, walking from one end of town to the other would take no more than 10 minutes. The indoor mall, The Lanes, is quite small and is handy for nipping in out of the rain, and most of the large stores can be accessed from both inside the mall, and from the main high street. Unfortunately recent economic climate has had an effect on this high street, as it ... more

Shopping Areas in Carlisle: Shopping out of the fast lane in the 'Great Border City' (1239 words)

Given it's title of 'The Great Border City' it can be quite surprising to find that despite being the only city in Cumbria, and the nearest city shopping venue for parts of Northumberland and South west Scotland, there is very much a 'town' feel about the centre of Carlisle and it's shopping areas. The main shopping area of Carlisle is essentially one long pedestrianised wide street. Separated in the middle by the Town hall and Tourist Information office, the South end is named English street, and the North end, unsurprisingly, Scotch street. There are a few small streets leading off from English street, (Bank and Devonshire street) where banks, charity and ... Read the complete review

I live in Carlisle and I remember a few years ago when this big development began in the city centre. I found out that this was to be a Debenhams. I was quite pleased at the thought of it but had no idea how long it would take. During spring 1999 it began to take shape. A poster was hung saying 'Opens in October'. But not just October. October 2000. That was about a year and a half to go. Eventually it was finished and I remember the opening day. It was absolutely jammed. There were bands performing in The Lanes (shopping centre that Debenhams was built on to), and lots and lots of people. Me and my mate went in for a look but as it was ... Read the complete review

Shopping Areas in Carlisle: Lanes and New Extension (202 words)

The Lanes in Carlisle has now been extended. I must admit that I wasn't too enthusiastic about it when it was first planned but it is better than I thought it would be. The whole area is quite big and has a range of shops all under one roof. You can choose from Debenhams, Paco, GAP, S&H and a whole range of others. There's also a Dixons, a cut price perfume store (the genuine stuff, not copies), a health shop offering great prices on herbal remedies and even a specialist 'Cookie' shop. There still lots of units to let as the extension was only opened last month but it looks promising. It's pleasant to just stroll through and see ... Read the complete review
