Where exactly

On High Cross Street, Brampton. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the town centre, not the building. The position is approximate.

At 23 High Cross Street in Brampton, trading from about 1831 to 1853, and originally called the Plough. It was in the building occupied by Cumbrian Properties in Mike Tuer's photograph. It was the shortest-lived of the six Graham Arms in the district, and the only one in Brampton itself. High Cross Street carried several licensed houses at the time, among them the White Lion and Elliot's Spirit Vaults.

Distinct from the Graham Arms at Hayton, at Westlinton, at Kirklinton, at Gretna Station, and the one still trading at Longtown.
