Where exactly

Peascod's Lane was an old lane in the city centre that isn't on modern maps, so the pin is approximate.

In Peascod's Lane, off English Street, trading before 1777, and also recorded as the Bull and Dog and the Dog and Duck. The Bull Dog Inn kept by Joseph Peascod in 1811 is very probably this house: Parson and White's directory of 1829 prints it as the 'Bull and Dog', kept by Joseph Peascod, in Peascod's Lane, the lane that carried his name. Francis Carrick, 55, is recorded as publican of the Old Dog and Bull in the 1841 census, already carrying the 'Old' by then. James Ward kept it in 1847, when he was among the publicans who took their bills to the party agents after the election.

For a short time it was the Pine Apple. In June 1849 Mrs C. Bell, 'late of the Pine Apple Inn, English Street', announced that she had entered 'that Old-Established Inn, formerly known as the Dog and Bull, PEASCOD'S LANE', and 'had it transferred to the Sign of the PINE APPLE INN, by which name it will, in future, be known'. A death 'at the Pine Apple Inn, Peascod's Lane' was reported in July 1850, while the original Pine Apple carried on under Thomas Loftus. The old name was back by 1867, when G. Tremble signed the innkeepers' memorial of February 1867 for the Dog and Bull.

The Carlisle Patriot advertised it on 2 July 1880. That September George Campbell was on the police black list, and his licence passed to D. Black. John Green, 34 and born at Cumwhitton, is the publican of the 1891 census. On the night of 29 December 1894 Mrs Heap, the landlady, refused a bad sixpence from a couple who had already passed three at the Rose and Crown round the corner; they got six months and three. In September 1898 the Maryport Brewery Company offered to give up the Dog and Bull's licence if the bench would grant a full beer licence to its off-licence shop in Edward Street. The bench declined.

Joseph Heap, 54 and born at Kendal, is recorded there in 1901, shortly before it closed in 1902-03. A Cumberland News column of July 1992 gives it from 1829 in the directories until the early 1900s, probably 1907-08.
