Editing Carlisle (section)

===Divisions and suburbs===
[[File:Warwick Road, Carlisle - geograph.org.uk - 196319.jpg|thumb|Warwick Road serves as one of the main routes into the centre of Carlisle.]]
In the north of Carlisle are the suburbs of Kingstown, Lowry Hill and Moorville, formerly part of the parish of Kingmoor. To the south of them are [[Stanwix]], Edentown, Etterby, St Ann's Hill and Belah which were added to Carlisle in 1912. The parish of [[Stanwix Rural]] exists but only includes a small part of Carlisle's urban area, [[Whiteclosegate]].

To the immediate south of Stanwix is the River Eden. On the opposite bank is the city centre bounded on the west by the West Coast Main Railway line and the River Caldew. In the past industry flourished on the banks of the River Caldew, especially [[Denton Holme]] and Caldewgate on the west bank and Wapping, around the former Metal Box works, on the east. West of Caldewgate and north of Denton Holme the suburbs of Newtown, Morton, Sandsfield Park, Longsowerby, [[Raffles, Cumbria|Raffles]] and [[Belle Vue, Cumbria|Belle Vue]] developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

The eastern side of the city centre developed in the 19th century into a more affluent area along the main [[A69 road (Great Britain)|A69 road]]. It links with the former village of [[Botcherby]] to which a large council estate was added in the mid-20th century and later still Durranhill Housing Estate.

South of the city centre is the Botchergate/St Nicholas area of late Victorian terraced housing similar to that found in Denton Holme and Caldewgate. The Botchergate East area until recently had older slum dwellings.

To the south west of Botchergate and St Nicholas are the former villages now suburbs of [[Upperby]] and [[Currock]]. The urban area spills over the former county borough boundary into [[Blackwell, Carlisle|Blackwell]] and [[Durdar]] in the civil parish of [[St Cuthbert Without]].

Between Upperby and Botcherby is Harraby, a former village once part of St Cuthbert Without and the largest suburb of Carlisle. Harraby is subdivided into Harraby East, New Harraby, Harraby Green, Old Harraby, Petteril Bank and the Durranhill Industrial Estate. Adjoining Harraby to the south but outside the former borough boundary is the hamlet of [[Carleton, Carlisle|Carleton]].
