On the 12 July 1916 it opened as `The Gretna Tavern' the first State Managed pub in Carlisle. With a a nine-mile long cordite factory at nearby Gretna, excessive alcohol consumption became a problem and to counter this the British Government began nationalising pubs in an effort to control alcohol consumption; it began in the Carlisle and Siloth area and was known as the 'Carlisle Experiment'. In later years the pub underwent several name changes, including `The Shambles' in 1970s and 'The Post Public House' in the 1980s.
