The Kings Arms Hotel was one of the Coaching Inns, and one of the tallest buildings in Shap.
It is believed to date from the 18th century.
Before the coming of the railway these inns (the Greyhound, and Queens Head were others) would have been hives of activity, serving the needs of travellers in the great road from England to Scotland.
The hotel had a range of buildings to the rear such as stables and coach houses to accommodate the horses and carriages of visitors.
There was also an assembly room used for entertainments and the venue of the Pot Fairs and Clothes Fairs held twice a year.
