Where exactly

In Kingstown. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the village, not the building. The position is approximate.

A 'well accustomed' public house at Kingstown, with a barn, stable and garden, known from two sale notices nine months apart. In November 1841 its owner, Edward Carr, who farmed seventeen acres nearby in the hamlet of Kingmoor, put it up for auction at Mrs Tweddle's Scotch Arms on Rickergate, with a Mr Mitchinson as the sitting tenant. In July 1842 it was offered again, 'by Order of the Mortgagee', this time at the house itself, now kept by John Elliot, along with five cottages in the village and eighteen acres of land, 'to pay a good rate of interest'.

Carr was still selling Kingstown property in 1860, when two of his houses went under the hammer at the Galaor Inn at Greymoor Hill. Nothing later is known of the Black Bull under that name, where in the village it stood is not recorded, and nothing settles whether its building carried on as one of Kingstown's later inns. A different Black Bull, on Scotch Street, is where Black Bull Lane and Black Bull Yard get their names; this one has no connection to that naming.
