Summary | |||||
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 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 Black Lion was amongst a tranche of pubs taken into State ownership in April 1917. | ||||
