Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY3680459333, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building has since been demolished.

An old inn at Cargo, by the Eden, open before 1787. The scheme closed it in 1918 by Historic England's gazetteer, 1916 by other records, and the site has had houses on it since the 1950s. It was still licensed on 8 July 1916, when the Cumberland News listed it as the Fish, Cargo, so a 1916 closure came later that year.
