SD4761NE BRIDGE LANE 1685-1/7/18 The Three Mariners Public House 18/02/70 (Formerly Listed as: BRIDGE LANE Carpenters' Arms Hotel)

II

Public house. Late C17, with C19 addition, altered and restored early C20. Coursed sandstone rubble with slate roof and brick chimneys. Rectangular 3-unit plan, with a Single-storey addition on the right. The original building has 3 storeys and 3 bays and gable chimneys. The doorway between bays 2 and 3 has a restored chamfered surround including a shaped lintel. The windows are mostly restored and have flush chamfered mullions on the ground floor and chamfered mullions in rebated and chamfered surrounds above. All are of 3 lights except for a 2-light window in the 2nd bay on the ground floor. The C19 extension has a shallow-pitched roof and a gable chimney; it is of a full height but has only 2 storeys. It has on the right a tall doorway with a plain surround and overlight, and a large 6-paned sash window on each floor. INTERIOR: the third unit has 2 large roughly chamfered axial beams; the remainder has roughly-shaped lateral beams, but the positions of all suggest alterations which may have included the removal of a former axial chimney stack. HISTORY: Bridge Lane was the main road leading north over the Lune until Skerton Bridge was built in 1788. Most of the remaining part of the street was demolished when a new road from China Street to the Bus Station was made in 1937. Old photographs, one dated 1927, show that the present facade, which once formed part of a row of buildings, is largely restored. They show a gabled 4th storey above the 2 right-hand bays, and a ground-floor doorway in the left-hand bay.
