Painting, watercolour, The Irish Gate, Carlisle, Cumberland, by W Hetherington, about 1880.
The Irish Gate stands in centre of composition, its studded doors thrown open, adjoined to right by a low sandstone building with a pitched roof. To left stand two townhouses beside which a horse and cart are partially visible. To right a man and woman walk along the pavement in front of the two town houses. Another couple can be seen to the right of the gate.
Based on an original watercolour by Robert Carlyle dated 1791.
