In the days of yore, in the year of 1820, a fair edifice arose upon the grounds where Puddle Bank Farm once stood. Two humble cottages were transformed into the Castle Inn, a haven for weary wayfarers and colliers alike. 'Twas a refuge, serving those toiling upon the roads and delving in the collieries.

As the hands of time swept forth, the Castle Inn became a splendid respite for wanderers trekking along the old train lines that lay nearby. Hungry and parched, they sought solace within its walls, yearning for a morsel to fill their bellies or a draft to quench their thirst. The inn, with its rustic charm, beckoned all who ventured near.

Through the passing centuries, the Castle Inn garnered renown, drawing folk from both near and distant lands. Its fame spread like the fragrance of blooming meadows, for within its walls, a feast of delectable, locally sourced fare awaited. 

And lo, the Castle Inn, with open arms, welcomed not only the nomadic wanderers but also the local denizens who sought camaraderie and libations within its hallowed halls. Thus, the inn became a cherished abode, a timeless refuge where tales were spun, and friendships brewed, echoing through the annals of olde English folklore.
