The "Inglewood Forest" is Carlisle's forgotten pub - receiving not even a mention in the final chapter of "The Carlisle State Management Scheme", written by her son after Olive Seabury's death in 2005. However, it was a Scheme "new build", opening on 21 October 1953 and complete with a bowling green, private garden and car park. While it served a then expanding housing estate, it does not appear to have prospered even after sale to the private sector in 1973. The pub closed in 2007 and was demolished in 2010. The building seen here is built on the site and is a residential and day care centre. A Rose & Trev Clough photograph taken just before demolition can be seen: Image] .
