In today's nostalgia gallery, we have an incredible set of images which demonstrate what life was like in Carlisle during an historic, tumultuous era in British history.

The Edwardian era commenced upon the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, when King Edward ascended to the throne in Britain.

As these images reveal, it was a period of undoubted change, discovery and progress and during the nine years King Edward was on the throne, it is clear that some of the seeds for the modern world we now live in were sown.

Association football was underway in our city with Carlisle United taking to the pitch in their current guise from 1904. A term we do not use now but the sport was in its early days during this era.

You can see the Carlisle squad in one picture.

We also see industry in action with a picture showing workers at a factory gate in Denton Holme in 1910, nearer the end of the era.

There is also an image of a farmer taking his sheep to market over Eden Bridge, Carlisle in 1910.

In terms of daily life, we also see a tram travelling down English Street, Carlisle in 1910. A common sight of the times.

And who can overlook the front page of The Cumberland News from July 1910 after the Carlisle Patriot and The East Cumberland News merged?

The pick of the lot, perhaps, comes in the form of a picture taken by a certain Herbert Ponting of Carlisle with a photograph chronicling Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated 1910-1913 Antarctic Expedition.
