Bents Lane Social Club was named after the former wooden building built on stilts, which it replaced. It had been known locally as "The Rat Pit", and now boasts that name on its frontage. The building is the local polling station for elections. Can the locals be the only ones in the United Kingdom to vote at an officially designated rat pit? . A plaque Image on the wall unveiled in 2007 commemorates William Watson who was born in house that previously stood on the site.
