	Painting, watercolour, North East View of the City of Carlisle, Cumberland, 1778-99. Panoramic view of the city of Carlisle seen from a slightly elevated perspective across the River Eden from Rickerby Park. In the foreground, a group of men are chopping wood; to the right a man leads his horse and cart along the Newcastle Road. On the far right of the composition stands Stanwix Bank. A mounted horse and carriage can be seen crossing the second bridge across the river Eden. On the far bank a man is fishing in the river. The second tributary of the River Eden is shown slightly silted up beneath the first bridge across the river Eden. The panoramic view of the city shows the citadel, gaol, St Cuthbert's Church, Cathedral, Castle and Walls with distant hills rising beyond.
