A once very extensive triangular site flanked by Shaddongate, Milbourne Street and Bridge Street, the Carlisle New Brewery opened in 1774. It was acquired by the State in August 1916 and closed for brewing in 1917, although malting and bottling continued into the 1920's. It may have been renamed "The Maltings" by the Board(same address) with the site sold to the Border Dairy Co in 1973 for £31,125, with the Border Dairy Co itself sold to the Milk Marketing Board in 1974. The brewery site appears to have been cleared 1973/74 and may later have been the location of Thomas Graham's steel merchants. It has more recently been developed as largely nondescript business units. However, the architect to this fast-food outlet has at least given a passing nod to the history of the site.
