Rigg Street, CARLISLE, CA2 5TN

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/ .

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.

Once three 18th century cottages combined to form a pub, the "Pheasant" opened circa 1880. Acquired by the State in August 1916, it was re-modelled internally May - October 1917 to provide meals, the Control Board being keen to provide the option of meals in comfortable surroundings. Returned to private ownership in April 1973, the pub closed in 1999 and is now a restaurant.

Viewed from Church Street, the Curry Master takeaway shows its orange side. The modern blue, grey and yellow block is student accommodation.

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.

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. Photograph is for record only - I have no connection with any business seen in this view and cannot advise on their products or services.

John Street (left) merges into Church Street just past the traffic lights. McVitie's biscuit factory is on the far right, with the Joiners Arms (white building) in front of it. The water level had already dropped by this time, as seen by a tide mark of debris further back on the road.
