- Where exactly
- Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY3945555713, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building's use in 2018: unoccupied.
At 48 Shaddongate, and trading from 1823: first listed without a name of its own, then as the Spirit Vaults from 1826 to 1891, before it took the Duke of York name. R. Carruthers signed the innkeepers' memorial of February 1867 for a Duke of York, possibly this one. John Story and Co., wine and spirit merchants, had 48 Shaddongate in 1873 and 1884, and Kelly's directory of 1897 has it as the Duke of York, under Joseph Blair.
It was a Carlisle New Brewery house when the scheme acquired it in August 1916, and number fourteen on the scheme's 1920 roll. The scheme approved improvements to it in 1967, and sold it to Greenall Whitley on 21 May 1973, or 28 May by one record, which makes it one of the longer-lived state pubs.
The Evening News and Star reported on 21 October 1998 that the outgoing landlord was quitting the Duke after two years, and one record ends the pub's life there. It was on the market in April 2000, and two other records give its closure as that year. By 25 January 2001 the paper was reporting the building would be turned into private accommodation. Whatever became of that plan, Historic England's gazetteer found the building unoccupied in 2018.
Sold to Greenall Whitley as part of Group 4, handed over on 21 May 1973. Who bought the rest
