The side of the White Lion is on the left, and the building in the centre of the view is known as Charlie's House. It was built in the late 17C, and altered in the 18C and 19C. The plaque reads "In 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters here during the siege of Carlisle from November 12th to 18th 1745". Whether this was at the invitation of the owner of the house is not recorded.
