This Pub is Closed Long Term

Friendly, historic inn situated north of the river Eden in the suburb of Etterby. Bus number 76 stops outside the pub. The Redfern Inn is one of several pubs in Carlisle built in this style by the architect Harry Redfern. The pub was built in 1938 and named after Mr. Redfern, towards the end of his work for the Carlisle and District State Management Scheme. It is one of the distinctive New Model Inn designs. The pub was designed by Redfern's assistant architect, Joseph Seddon (with Redfern's collaboration). It is a must see for anyone visiting Carlisle. The Redfern has been restored to it's former glory. The splendid wood-panelled lounge consists of two 'separate' rooms both with much-appreciated roaring fires when the weather turns cool. Pictures of historic Carlisle adorn the walls. The carved bar has been restored and is a masterpiece. The public bar also retains the original wood panelling and also has a roaring fire.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Built for the State Management Scheme and opened on 1 October 1940. It was named in honour of Harry Redfern (1861-1950), the Scheme’s architect from 1916, and was designed in Arts & Crafts style by his assistant Joseph Seddon (with Redfern's collaboration). Since then, the counter in the public bar has been extended and there has been much wall removal wall between the right-hand front room and that behind (originally known as a ‘tea and smoking room’). Some fireplaces have also been replaced. However, much wooden panelling survives along with a wealth of detail, such as the door furniture, so there is still much to cherish here. The bowling green has been out of use for a number of years and is under threat from development.

General information about historic pub interiors

Designed by Joseph Seddon for the State Management Scheme, and named after Harry Redfern, the Scheme’s original architect; opened 1940. On an irregular shaped site at a road junction, with bowling green behind (not in use as at August 2016 only a pub garden). Red brick building in ‘Arts and Crafts’ style. Public bar to left, smoking room to right, with a further room (formerly the ‘tea and smoking room’) to the rear entered via the lounge. Comparison with the plan published in The Renaissance of the English Public House shows that the bar counter in the public bar has been extended, and that the dividing wall between the smoking room and the room to the rear has largely been removed. Some fireplaces have also been replaced. However, the pub retains wooden panelling in all rooms, and a wealth of detail such as door furniture. This is the best preserved State Management pub after the Cumberland Inn, Carlisle.
