The Dog Beck

The largely hidden stream known as the Dog Beck crossed the open area now occupied by the adjacent New Squares shopping centre. It then ran into an underground channel in front of these premises and underneath Penrith to the Thacka Beck. These premises are an amalgamation of several properties. The largest is an early 19th-century grade II listed building. Most recently a nightclub, it had housed the Cumberland County Clinic.
