About this property

    History

    Portland Square was planned by the City elders and built for the” great and good” of Carlisle in the 1870’s. Set outside the historic and confining walls of old Carlisle on meadow land originally owned by the Aglionby estate, Portland Square was a statement of place and prosperity which was in part brought by the new railway station and the expansion of mills, factories and enterprises around the City. Of particular interest is 5 Portland Square built by Joseph Huthart, Mayor of Carlisle and Hamilton House, 15 Portland Square which was built in 1881 as a private girls school.
