Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY3947055754, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building has since been demolished.

At 30 Shaddongate, on a corner. It traded as the Weavers Arms from 1837 before being renamed the Lorne Arms in 1878. Not the Weavers Arms on John Street, which became the Sportsman's Arms and then the Bricklayers Arms. David Gouge was the beer retailer at 30 Shaddongate in 1873. In September 1887 the licence passed from William Wilson to Sarah Nicholson, and in April 1888 temporarily from Mrs Sarah Maria Henderson to Joseph Story, late of the Cumberland Wrestlers; in September 1890 it was transferred permanently from Story to Tom Tweddle. The 1902 photograph in Carlisle: The Archive Photographs shows the tenant then as John Skelton.

It was a Carlisle Old Brewery house when the scheme acquired it in August 1916, and it closed in 1917. On 30 April 1919 the Central Control Board put it up for auction at the Victoria Hotel, through the auctioneer Fred Telford, among fourteen Carlisle properties it no longer needed: number 30 Shaddongate, 'formerly the Lorne Arms Inn', 'a good corner house and shop with frontage to two streets, very suitable for a dealer in second-hand goods or cycle agent'. Telford advertised it again by private treaty on 7 June 1919. It was still being described as 'formerly known as Lorne Arms' when the property was sold in 1924.
