Germany, 1920 These photos are unusual and seem to have been taken either as proof of what happens in a masonic temple or as part of a propaganda piece. Either way, they provide a unique record of the Craft in Germany prior to the Nazis.
Union Lodge No.310, Carlisle This lodge was at Carlisle, working under Scottish Warrant No. 216, from in 1786 then was warranted under the Grand Lodge of England in 1796 as Number 555. At that time, it met in the Grapes Inn, Scotch Street, Carlisle. In 1832, it was re-numbered 389 which appears on the chair and then 4 years later it received its present number 310. Today the lodge meets in Freemasons' Hall, Castle Street, Carlisle. My thanks to Bro. John Muir for the photos.
