- On South John Street. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the street, not the building.
At 19 South John Street, off Botchergate, trading from 1840 and in Carlisle directories from 1847 through to 1907-08, then absent. It was a Carlisle New Brewery house from 1880. The 1861 census has William Forster, a thirty-year-old Carlisle joiner, running it as joiner and innkeeper, and by 1891 John Robert Dalton from Cockermouth had it. A joiner keeping the Mason's Arms is the kind of thing trade names keep throwing up. There was a second Mason's Arms on Blackfriars Street in the 1847 directory.
