  • Brief History

    After the invasion of Britain in 43AD by the Romans, in Roman times, Carlisle had a wooden fort and had all the public buildings in it. The marketplace was made for soldiers and civilians to buy stuff. After the Romans left Carlisle after their decline, very few people were left in this area.

    In the middle ages time, the city of Carlisle was a tiny town. It had a population of roughly 2000 people. It seems to be a small town for today's period, but at that time, it was considered a good size town with a well-established marketplace. The town had a strategic importance because of its location near to Scotland border.

    In the 12th century, a stone wall was built around the city to form a castle to protect it from invasions. In 1135-1154 the town was under Scottish rule. A small monastery was built in this city in 1122. At that time, it was made the seat of the bishops for that area.

    The first charter for Carlisle was given in 1158. During the industrial period, Carlisle became the place for wool and leather production. It became the leather town of the area and exported leather and wool to Ireland.

    Carlisle had an annual fair, a weekly marketplace for buying stuff, and a middle ages fair held in the town. In 1292 this city was hit by a widespread fire that burned most of the houses. Most of the buildings were made of wood, so they suffered a lot of loss.

    In 1901 the population of Carlisle went up to 45000. In late 1900, this city became technologically advance and had electric trams. In 1931 these trams were replaced by more advanced buses. Raffle state was built in Carlisle in 1930. By the start of the 20th century, the textile industry in the city had started to decline. A library was built in Carlisle in 1986. In 2005 Carlisle suffered severe floods. Much of the city area was submerged underwater. Property and infrastructure damage occurred, and people had to bear many losses. Today Carlisle is a flourishing city, with a large population.

    For centuries Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1437 when it supplanted Scone. The Scottish Parliament resides in Edinburgh. In any case, before, Edinburgh Castle was constantly under English authority. Before the tenth century, Edinburgh was profoundly influenced by the Anglo-Saxons and Danelaw. Edinburgh witnessed constant disputes between the English and Scottish. There was an extensive series of conflicts between these two in these areas as the English attempted to guarantee Anglo-Saxon spaces and the Scottish battled for land toward the north of Hadrian's Wall. When Edinburgh had been under Scottish example for a considerable timeframe in the fifteenth century, King James IV of Scotland moved the Royal Court to Edinburgh, and the city turned into the capital as a substitute.

    Edinburgh castle was built around the remains of an old Roman fortress, then gradually houses and industrial estates were built around the palace. The Castle was constructed by King David who devoted the Chapel to his mother Queen Margaret. The castle was fought for by the English and Scott’s constantly however some Scott’s believed that the throne belonged to Queen Mary who were here loyal followers. The Scottish court then left Edinburgh for London, which left the manor with just a military capacity. The last ruler to dwell at the palace was Charles I in 1633, preceding his crowning ritual as King of the Scots.

    Believed to be inhabited since the late Upper Paleolithic, Creswell Crags located at the east of Sheffield is where the first evidence of human occupation was found. This area is believed to be occupied by the Brigantes, a Pennine tribe, during the Iron Age.

    Sheffield Castle was built after England’s Norman conquest. It was built for local settlement protection. With the establishment of this castle came the development of a small town which is now the modern city’s center. The Castle Square had a market in 1296, and Sheffield was known for knife production. Later on, Sheffield became a cutlery manufacturer's main centre in England.

    Sheffield plate was developed during the 1740s which led to Sheffield being an industrial town. However, there were some losses in important export markets, so the city was affected severely by the cholera epidemic. Nevertheless, during the 19th century, Sheffield was able to increase in population. Another notable infrastructure that was developed later on was the Sheffieldand Rotherham railway.

    One of the challenges Sheffield faced was the Great Sheffield Flood which damaged the town and killed 270 people. Still hit by the Great Depression, Sheffield was able to enter the playing field as they manufacture weapons and ammunition. However, with this responsibility came risks – they were targeted for bombings. Sheffield Blitz was one of the heaviest bombing raids the city experienced.

    During the 1950s to 1960s, a lot of development was made in Sheffield. Slums were demolished and replaced with housing schemes, new system roads were made from cleared city centre parts, and many steel mills were forcibly closed due to increased competition from abroad.
    In the 21st century, a lot of progress was made – renovation of the Peace Gardens and opening of the Millennium Galleries, Winter Gardens, and Millennium Square. However, Sheffield suffered again during the 2007 UK floods, the 2010 ‘Big Freeze’ and a 2019 flood.
