The total cost of the conversions and improvements which have been effected in the building formerly used as the principal post office at Carlisle and now known as the Gretna Tavern has been about £5,000; the hall now known as the Lowther Hall always formed part of the building, and became available as part of the Gretna Tavern in 1919 on ceasing to be used for post office purposes. The Central Control Board did not acquire these premises, which were already Government property, and were placed at the Board's disposal by the Postmaster-General. I am not prepared to publish separate trading results of individual premises.
