READERS have responded to the story on ghost signs in Carlisle city centre. Carlisle is a place where many fascinating echoes of its past are still there for everyone to see. Readers can take a short stroll anywhere in the city and glance at signs for shops, businesses and services that no longer exist, some for generations. Many ghost signs are admittedly modern and due to the downturn in the high street - this is because shoppers are increasingly getting their goods online and the impact of the coronavirus. Clothing stores Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Bonmarche, both on English Street, are just two of the recent casualties whose names stand above empty outlets.
