Hi
Anyone out there know of a pub which I think is now called the Sun Inn in Maryport. It was called The Sun.
Trying to find any details on it.
Thanks

There used to be a Sun/ Sun Inn at Flimby (next village down coast) but the last time it was there it was the local Amateur Rugby League Club House.

There was a Sun Inn at nearby Crosby too.

1871 census seems to show a Sun Inn at 47 Wood St, Maryport :)

49 Wood St definitely has the look of a pub about it.
It is on the western corner of the crossing with Crosby St, and has its door on the actual corner.

There was a Sun Inn in Wood Street Maryport .(Think there is also one still open in Dearham)
The Sun in Wood street last landlord was Joe Huddart and his wife Ida a great couple ,who then moved up the road to run the Senhouse arms .
It was open till the mid 70's I think and was either a National Breweries pub or maybe a Carlisle ale house .

If its the place on the corner I can remember it being a sweet shop that a relative bought off one of my sister's friends parents. Another relative lives there now.
