Former "White Ox", Blackwell, Carlisle - April 2017
Image: © The Carlisle Kid Taken: 12 Apr 2017
Built 1904 to replace the T'Theekt Cott pub, the White Ox was unusual in having a Newfoundland slate roof. Taken into State ownership on 1 August 1916, it was returned to the private sector in 1973 (exact date and purchaser not yet found). Seems to have closed circa 2008 and is now a private dwelling. For a photograph of the pub just before closure, see: Image] , and for one just after closure, see: http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/thelakes/html/lgaz/lk17761.htm
