On the corner of Front Street and Co-operative Terrace, the disused pub was for a time a shrine to Sapper Daryn Roy killed in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on May 3rd 2010. A sign in the boarded up windows reads, "Daryn Roy. Dipton hero" http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/evening-chronicle-news/2010/05/19/dipton-pay-tribute-to-tragic-soldier-daryn-roy-72703-26475933/
