Dist:0.2km<br/>Built in 1830 for the keeper of the Harraby Toll Gate, on the Carlisle to Eamont Bridge turnpike road (for information on turnpikes see Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnpike_trust ) . The turnpike closed in 1883, when road maintenance became the responsibility of the local authority. The cottage was sold to the owner of nearby Chertsey House, to be used as a lodge. Today it is a private residence.

Dist:0.2km<br/>At the corner of Harraby Grove and London Road. The steps look daunting, but there is level access from a large car park round the back (Inn's website : http://theharrabyinn.co.uk/default.aspx ). This was originally a house called Harraby Grange, for many years the residence of the Cavaghan family, who owned the nearby food factory. It opened as a public house in 1949, having been acquired by the Carlisle and District State Management Scheme http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A644645 . (information from Cumberland News, 15.07.2011 http://www.cumberlandnews.co.uk/a-story-worthy-of-a-pint-or-two-1.858556?referrerPath=features ).
