The Liddesdale Tavern
- Built

- Gone
- Renamed the Citadel by 1860
- There now
- Not established
- Where exactly
- On Peascod's Lane. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the street, not the building.
Traded as the Cross Keys from before 1782, took the Liddesdale Tavern name in 1854 or 1855, and was known as the Citadel, or Citadel Inn, from about 1858 until it drops out of the records in 1861. Not the Citadel Tavern on English Street, which took the name sixty years later. The Cross Keys kept by Mary Davidson on English Street in 1811 may well be this house: see the Cross Keys. Robert and Agnes Rickerby, late of the Rose and Crown in Lowthian's Lane, kept it in the spring of 1861, and to them it was still the Liddesdale: Agnes gave the name 'the Liddesdale inn, in Peascod's-lane' at the inquest on William Horsley that May, and the Patriot called her husband its landlord.
