Dave Ramshaw - Carlisle’s First Learning Centre – Tullie House - June Lunchtime Talk

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery was opened by the Carlisle Corporation in 1893, the original building is a converted Jacobean mansion, with extensions added when it was converted. At first, with no university in Carlisle, the building filled the gap providing a range of facilities including the museum, a library, an art school and a technical school. The talk will explore the development of Tullie House as a ‘learning centre’ over time.

He is a keen walker and cyclist and also a member of the Border Astronomical Society (managing Trinity Observatory), Director of the Carlisle Waverley Viaduct Trust and a primary school governor.
