Carlisle old brewery
Viewed from Devonshire Walk across the river and railway. Built in the mid-19th century, on an older brewery site, for the Carlisle Old Brewery Company, becoming part of the Theakstons group in 1974. Part of the brewery was demolished after closure in 1987, the rest has been converted to a student residence and gym. For a fuller history see the grade II listing (list entry 1208869).

Site of "Graham's Queens Brewery" - December 2016
Opened in 1860 and also sometimes known as Queen's Brewery (Graham's), the brewery was fronted by the Queens Head Inn and the Royal Oak Inn (approximately where I am standing). The brewery came under State control in September 1916 and was almost immediately closed, the buildings being demolished in 1928/29. The Queens Head was closed in 1918, while the Royal Oak became an off-licence by 1920 and was demolished in 1987. It is not clear what use was made of the brewery site in the years between 1929 and the construction of Sainsbury's circa 2005.
Sainsbury's wine and spirit shelves are situated on the approximate site of the "William James MP" pub, which closed in 1912!
Alex advises "Usage in the 1960's and 1970's the site was the location of Fred Proudfoots banana ripening rooms, potato bagging and also his HGV repair workshops".

Former "Globe" pub - December 2016 (1)
The Globe - also known as the Globe Inn - came under State management in August 1916 and returned to private ownership in April 1973. The pub closed on 8 December 2010 and was converted to a retail outlet with student accommodation above. Sadly, the retailer closed following "Storm Desmond" in December 2015 and the future of the ground floor is uncertain.
For a view of the pub when open, see: Image] .
