This massive public house may be seen as a memorial to the many hundreds of coal miners and coal mining families who drank here and laughed and argued. Funeral buffets and wedding breakfasts, singers and slot machines. Now there are only the quiet ghosts of all that life since nearby Markham and Ireland collieries are now closed forever.
