Where exactly

On Court Square. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the street, not the building.

On Court Square, trading from 1834, and pulled down in 1848 to make way for the new railway station. Mrs Slack had it in September 1836, when she was one of three people taking enquiries about the letting of a 129-acre farm called Robin Hood, at Bassenthwaite, and gave her address as 'Minerva, Court-square, Carlisle'. A separate Minerva Inn from the Shaddongate one, which later traded as Anglers.
