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

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.

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

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 .

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] .

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.

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.
