Similar doors and windows in returns and extensions. INTERIOR: extensive C20 alterations. Asquith' Survey of 1853 does not show this as a pub, it appears on the 1865 OS map as the Silloth Railway Inn (that railway was opened on 28 August 1856). It was called The Pheasant for the first time in the 1873 directory. Became a State Managed pub in 1916 and sold out of state control in 1972. Removal of stucco in 1970s revealed blocked earlier windows.
