First mentioned in the local directory for 1876, old photographs show it was very similar in appearance to the "Spinners Arms" (see: Image] ). It was acquired by the State Management Scheme on 3 August 1916 and was sold to the sitting tenant in 1973 for £6,920. Local records show it was given a "face lift" in 1977 with an extension added in 1988 (possibly the low building to the right). It was renamed "Biddy Mulligan" in 1997, but then banned Irish music in 1998 - which drove customers away! It came under new management on 28 March 2003 when renamed "Knight Inn", but closed on 9 July 2004 due to illness. Now a private dwelling with no public access. See also: Image] .

The Knight Inn closed in 2007, and has since been converted to residential use. The pub was called 'The Woolpack' for about 120 years, renamed 'Biddy Mulligans' in 1997 and 'The Knight Inn' in 2003. Information from http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/cumberland/carlisle_knightinn.html .

Ordnance Survey records indicate that a benchmark was levelled at 14.539m above Newlyn Datum on the concrete skirt of the house left of its door

First recorded in the local directory of 1858 and is probably mid-19th Century, the "Spinners Arms" was acquired by the State Management Scheme on 29 August 1916. The Carlisle Family History web site (http://carlisleshistory.co.uk/ ) indicates it was closed in 1917 and has been a private dwelling since.

The Cumbria Way long distance path follows the former railway that allowed freight trains to bypass Carlisle Citadel Station, crossing this viaduct over the River Caldew (next photograph Image).

Of the 18 pubs recorded as trading in Caldewgate between 1894 and the start of the State Management Scheme in 1916, only three still trade - the "Jovial Sailor", the "Joiners Arms" and the "Milbourne Arms". Built in 1852, the "Milbourne Arms" was acquired by the State in August 1916 and sold to Greenall Whitley on 22 May 1973. Known at various times as the "Milbourne Arms Inn" or the "Milbourne Arms Hotel", a photograph dated 1901 shows a brick-built structure, which appears to have been plastered-over at an unrecorded date. Photograph is for record only - I have no connection with this business and cannot advise on its products or services.
