An application to have the building listed was turned down by Historic England for the following principal reasons (quoted from report available here
Link ) :
* Architectural Interest: the vernacular style of the pub is typical rather than special and its appearance has been marred by the loss of the rendered exterior; * Alteration: there has been visual alteration to the exterior and structural alteration to the interior, with two former rooms opened out into one and the loggia enclosed; * Survival: very few original features, fixtures or fittings survive, being limited to a small amount of tiling and three first floor fireplaces; * Historic interest: the historic interest of the pub rests on its position as one of the family friendly pubs designed by Harry Redfern for the Carlisle State Management System, but better preserved examples survive and are protected
The Rose & Crown, Upperby Road A suburban public house, designed by architect Harry Redfern for the Carlisle State Management Scheme Link . Built in 1930 by John Laing and Son.
