Former Green Dragon Pub
There was a pub here from at least 1806. The front (with checkered brickwork) on Newtown Road is an 1860 extension. Round the corner in Bellgarth Road, the 2nd gable end belonged to the original old pub. (Information from "Carlisle Breweries and Public Houses 1894-1916" by Steven Davidson, 2004).The Green Dragon had a reputation as a rough pub, and closed down in the late 1990's. We believe it became a cafe for a short time after that.

Former "Green Dragon" pub, Newtown Road - June 2017 (1)
The "Green Dragon" was built in two stages - the original pub being the building on the right in this view and is believed constructed circa 1806. In 1860, the pub was extended out to the Newtown Road, giving the appearance seen here. It was acquired by the State Management Scheme in 1916 (possibly August or September) and sold to John Smiths Brewing Group on 7 May 1973. The pub closed in 1998 and is now a private dwelling.
Apparently, the "Green Dragon" had a reputation as Carlisle's "roughest" pub - certainly its history is not without incident. On 3 September 1847, a man was killed by the landlord's "tame" bear, while a shotgun was blasted at a pub window on 1 April 1985. A landlord was declared bankrupt on 6 March 1997 while a 1999 reopening attempt failed due to the premises being known as a "notorious troublespot".

Benchmark at #163 Newtown Road
Horizontal cut in a brick at the position where there should be an Ordnance Survey cut mark benchmark. Suspect the bricks have been replaced with an attempt made to preserve the height of the cut mark. See the Bench Mark Database at http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm34894 for a description of the benchmark.
