There now

Partly Dalston Butchers

Address

The Square, Dalston

Where exactly

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

On the square at Dalston, in the building now partly occupied by Dalston Butchers. It opened on 18 September 1822, an unusually exact date for a village inn, and closed as a pub around 1883. A White Swan stood nearby. Not the Crown & Mitre in Carlisle, or the one at Crosby-on-Eden. It was licensed later than that. At the Cumberland Ward licensing sessions of September 1892 the police objected to renewing the licence of the Crown and Mitre Inn, Dalston, 'recently occupied by Robert Nelson', owned by Margaret Martin of Liverpool, as unnecessary and unsuitable and with two convictions against it.
