- Not established
- Where exactly
- On Botchergate. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the street, not the building.
Trading on Botchergate from around 1778 and called the Stagewagon in 1837. A Carlisle Patriot notice of December 1825 put it up for sale, then occupied by a Mrs Beck. The Becks held it longer than that: Jollie's directory of 1811 has Robert Beck, 'innkeeper and butcher, Botchergate', and in 1829 Parson and White name Robert Beck at the Waggon and Horses. It drops out of the directories after 1852, but the premises carried on as spirit stores between 1855 and 1869. The Midland Railway Tavern later stood on its site. A second, unrelated Waggon and Horses on Bridge Street lasted a good deal longer, into the State Management era.
