Where exactly

On Harraby Hill, on the London road; the pin marks the hill, not the building. The position is approximate.

Known from a Carlisle Journal report of 27 July 1811, when the Horticultural Society met 'at the house of Mr Richard Sewell, sign of the Bald-faced Stag, Harraby Hill, near Carlisle' to judge a gooseberry competition. The name lasted only a year or two. The house had been the Golden Fleece from 1808, and by about 1813 it was the Apple Tree, later the Lancer, trading until 1849. Jollie's directory of the same year lists 'Sewell Richard, innkeeper and tea-garden, Harraby-hill', so the Stag kept a tea garden, as the Golden Fleece at Harraby had advertised one in 1809. A Richard Sewell kept the Old Turk's Head in Scotch Street in 1829, who may be the same man.
