In the summer of 1865 a local miner was caught returning from the first pub to be built in the area. He was threatened with the sack for breaking company rules, which forbade drinking while employed by the mine company. The pub, situated between Marske and New Marske, was never given a licence.

Which pub and where? It’s not fat to walk down to Marske, there were plenty of pubs there
Allegedly the buildings near the roundabout, half-way down towards Longbeck station.
