The Wheat Sheaf Inn

Built

On the 1867 OS map; possibly late 18th century

Gone

Closed by the Board, 11 October 1916

There now

Carlisle Magistrates' Court, formerly the police headquarters

Where exactly

Under the Magistrates' Court, built as the police headquarters

Little is known about it and no period photographs have been found. There's an irony in what replaced it: the pub closed by the state in 1916 now lies under the building that became the Magistrates' Court after the 2005 flood drove it out of the old police headquarters.
