Cumbria and the Lake District
The awful Civic Centre building on the corner on Rickergate
dominates Hardwicke Circus -
a prime example of the worst of 1960's architecture. Voted the least favorite
building in Carlisle.
While it is only right and proper to criticize the architect (Charles B Pearson
and Partners)
for this monstrosity, the Council must bear the brunt of the blame for saying
yes to the design.
It was completed in 1964 and has over stayed its welcome.
