Situated in Tangier Street, at the corner with Williamson Lane. The pub started out as The George & Dragon in 1829 but was subsequently called The Welsh Arms, because of its popularity with Welsh sailors. The pub was refurbished in 2004, and renamed The Candlestick after the local landmark (information from pub website http://candlestickwhitehaven.robinsonsbrewery.com/our-pub ).
