The two towers

The towers of the former Trinity Methodist Church and Carnegie Arts Centre dominate Lismore Place in Workington. The church retains only the tower and facade with the main building replaced by a new structure containing assisted living flats. The Carnegie Theatre and Arts Centre is one of Workington's much-loved buildings. The Foundation Stone for the 'Carnegie Free Library & Lecture Hall' was laid by his Worship The Mayor, Alderman R E Highton on Thursday 10 September 1903. The building opened on Thursday 6 October 1904 following a donation of £7,500 from Andrew Carnegie. It is now run by a charitable trust.
