The Duke Of York was situated on Shaddongate. This Victorian-built pub closed in 2000.

My grandmother Priscilla Hind, was the youngest of three daughters raised by widow, Lydia Hind, who operated the Pub and lived upstairs with the three girls. The oldest daughter, Mary Hind (then Dobinson), was later to become the mayoress of Carlisle. Her grandson, Thomas Dobinson lives near London. The second daughter, Sarah, married Charles May (a valet) and is buried in the Carlisle cemetery. She had no children. My grandmother Priscilla emigrated to Canada in 1921 and married my grandfather, William Robert Bond, also from Carlisle who had previously emigrated to Canada around 1915. My grandmother was employed in a clerical position in Edinburgh, possibly the munitions factory. She commuted by train daily to her position there. My grandparents ultimately ultimately moved to Portland Oregon, USA where they resided until the time of their deaths. My grandfather, William R. Bond Sr. in 1981 and my grandmother in 1983.
