Only a few people from any generation achieve the status of a local legend.
god that takes me back!! lovely man a memorial is a perfect idea.
I remember Harry as if I had just seen him yesterday,thats the sort of person he was,his personality was infectious and one felt better for having met him.I think thats because he put others before himself,not many like him now sadly.
I just read about Harry's death today and like so many people have many happy memories of him when I was a little girl in the 60's. I found his chatter fascinating and when it was time to get out he always lifted me over the little gap and onto the floor outside the lift. I would gladly contribute to a memorial.
A true character, RIP. As previously suggested a memorial to "Harry the Lift" is a must.
Harry worked on the lift when I was a little girl in the 50s - he was always "Harry off the lifts" as your article says. Another local character gone, but hopefully not forgotten!
Have just found out that Harry has died and I'm so sorry to hear it. He really was a brilliant bloke. I remember walking home from the match one night & Harry caught up with me near the tram sheds. He talked non-stop about Carlisle Utd until he turned off the London road in Harraby. The world could do with a few more like you Harry.
harry was very nice man
We all know of Harry's love of Carlisle Utd, even during the clubs darkest days he would never say a bad word against them, so wouldn't it be fitting if the officials at Brunton Park arrange a minutes applause for him before the final home game against Exeter?

Have your say
I have just been on holiday to Turkey. I had been talking to a couple from Carlisle and i asked them if they remember the man who operated the lift in Binns. And they told me of his death. He was a very lovely man, what memories.I loved going because i know i would get a toy tractor from Binns.
