Description | Public houses and breweries in the Carlisle, Gretna and Annan area were taken over by the State in 1916 to control drunkenness among construction and production workers at the new armament factories at Gretna, Eastriggs and Longtown. Four of the five breweries were closed with pubs closed or remodelled as restaurants to discourage stand-up drinking. The State Management's Scheme's first new premises was the former Post Office building opened as the Gretna Tavern by Lord Lonsdale on 12 July 1916. The State Management Scheme ran the Carlisle pubs until the 1970s. The pub-restaurant format and new pub designs by Harry Redfern in the post-war period influenced the large inter-war road houses and estate pubs. The offices of the Scheme were in a Georgian house in Castle Street opposite the Boardroom PH. | ||||
