Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY4107953482, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building's use in 2018: residential.

A Maryport Brewery house on Upperby Road, taken and refitted by the scheme in August 1916 and closed by 1930. It stood a few yards from the Black Bull, and the village was left with that and, from 1930, Redfern's Rose & Crown. It had stopped being a pub long before 1930. On 30 April 1919 the Central Control Board put it up for auction at the Victoria Hotel, through the auctioneer Fred Telford, among fourteen Carlisle properties it no longer needed: 'the premises formerly known as the Cross Keys', with two sitting rooms, a kitchen, a scullery, seven bedrooms, a yard and a stable.
