The Carlisle Lodge took part in the Reform demonstration prior to 1832 and appears to have been in full operation in the 1840s. It met at 'The Rose and Castle', corner of Castle Lane and Finkle Street, and the decoration of the walls of the hall were undertaken by Bough. the design consisted of the insignia of the Order, but no trace of it now exists.
