History
In the middle-to-late 1950s the village became known as the village with "the pub that never opened". If a person wanted to enter, the then owner a Mr. Heslop would look through the window to see if you were respectable or not. After his death, the pub and contents were sold off, the "Johnnie Walker" copper serving tray passing into the hands of the late Richard Preston, steam preservationist who passed it on to his grandson who still looks after it.[citation needed]
