Denton Holme

Denton Holme is an inner city district in Carlisle, Cumbria, England. The population of this ward was 6,383 taken at the 2011 census.

Denton Holme is usually regarded as a "village within the city" and is situated to the immediate south west of the city centre on the western bank of the River Caldew. A man made stream or mill race known as the Little Caldew flows through and underneath the area.

Today it is a mostly residential area but in the nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century along with the neighbouring districts of Caldewgate and Wapping it was Carlisle's main industrial district with many textile mills, engineering works and other factories such as car seat manufacturers and confectioners. Today very few factories remain although the last mill, Ferguson Brothers owned by Coats Viyella at Holme Head only closed in the 1990s.

The majority of the housing is red-brick terraced and in fact many of the side streets are still cobbled rather than tarmaced although some new housing has been built in recent years and some of the former factories have been converted into apartments.
