Shaddongate, CARLISLE, CA2 5TE

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.

Little seems to be known of the "Angler's Arms", which was situated on the corner of Rigg Street and Shaddongate and was closed by the State Management Scheme on 12 October 1916. Although some of the small streets off Shaddongate have vanished, this is thought to be the pub's approximate location.

An award-winning curry house, located at this building in Rigg Street for many years. It was a casualty of the Storm Desmond floods in December 2015, and the business has since relocated across the road to Shaddongate http://www.viceroycarlisle.co.uk/ .

Situated on the corner of Broadguards and Shaddongate (just to the right in this shot, where the cars are parked), the pub dated to circa 1837 when it was known as the "Weaver's Arms". Acquired by the State in August 1916 it was closed in 1919 and demolished in 1968.

The sign outside says 'University of Cumbria - Caldewgate Library'. Built in 2002 by Northumbria University, which had a campus in Carlisle for about 12 years but withdrew from the city in 2004. The University of Central Lancashire took over until 2007, when it transferred the campus to the newly formed University of Cumbria. Evidently a library at this location did not fit the requirements of the current university, because it was put up for sale in 2015. When this photo was taken in August 2012 there appeared to be no activity inside, which seemed unusual even during the vacation.

An off shoot to supply the old mills from the Caldew at Holmehead and then back into the Caldew at the Sheepmount.

Water was flowing onto the road through the railings on the left, from the Little Caldew stream.

Carlisle's 'other' river, the Caldew (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Caldew ) has its source near Skiddaw mountain in the lake district and its confluence with the River Eden about 1 km behind the photographer.

The blue-fronted building marks the site of the "Maltsters Arms", built circa 1837 as a wine and spirits merchants. It became a pub in 1880, when it was named the "Maltsters Arms" and was purchased by the Carlisle New Brewery Co in 1890. Acquired by the State in August 1916, it returned to private ownership May 1973. Closed and demolished in 2004, the building seen here is student accommodation.
