Mentioned in "Kirkbie-Kendal, Fragments collected relating to it's ancient Streets and Yards; Church and Castle; Houses and Inns", John F Curwen, 1901 in relation to the Commercial Hotel (later Kendal Hotel) on Highgate

“The Roebuck” once swung across the street from the premises adjoining, until Alderman Berry purchased the inn and re-built on its vaulted cellars the present building. Here he resided and carried on an extensive ironmonger’s business, until his happy windfall of some £20,000, enabled him to retire to Ash Meadow, Beetham. On the 21st of October, 1817, when the premises were occupied by a linen draper of the name of Dent, a serious fire broke out which did considerable damage to the property. And again another fire occurred in 1828. John F Curwen, Kirkbie Kendal (1900) p73
