Carlisle Times & Crimes

A Carlisle Carol

Carlisle Times & Crimes

It's Christmas, and, like Jacob Marley, I bring you three ghosts of Christmas past.


The clock strikes One: The first Ghost takes us back to 1843, where we will see how the wealthy and poor celebrate Christmas as Charles Dickens' festive classic was released.


The clock strikes Two: The second Ghost of Christmas past shows us Charles Dickens in Carlisle in 1861, as he performed his works on stage.


The clock strikes Three: Finally, the third Ghost of Christmas Past arrives to send a chill down your spine as we witness the spirit of The White Woman of Paternoster Row.


Merry Christmas and a Blessed Midwinter.
