Description
The St Nicholas Arms Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house, dating from the early 19th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork set on a chamfered plinth, with V-jointed quoins, and all dressings made of calciferous sandstone. The building has a graduated greenslate roof and retains its original end brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with four bays and has a double-depth plan.
The entrance is marked by an off-centre panelled door with an overlight, which is accessed by steps leading up to a prostyle Ionic porch. To the right, there is a squared bay window framed in stone. The remaining windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within stone architraves. The window above the entrance features a bracketed cornice, while the larger ground-floor windows have panelled aprons. There is a 20th-century plastic inn signboard and oval signs flanking a window on the upper floor.
The interior has not been inspected. The building appears on the 1842 Map of Carlisle and was opened as a pub under State Management control in 1921, as noted in the Carlisle Journal from July 22, 1921.
