Rockcliffe

Where exactly

In Rockcliffe. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the village, not the building. The position is approximate.

A beerhouse at Rockcliffe, owned by W. T. Trimble of Dalston and leased to the Maryport Brewery Company, whose lease still had seventeen years to run when the house came before the county Compensation Authority in July 1906. George Maxwell was the tenant. It sold about 23 barrels of beer a year, with 60 dozen bottles and 250 dozen of mineral waters, and one valuer thought it in an excellent position.

The Authority fixed £200, £10 of it for the tenant, and it was accepted. Rockcliffe's other beerhouse, the Blooming Heather, went at the same hearing. Not the Three Crowns on Rickergate.
