The Main House was used as a war-time Officers Mess, in support of the WW2 Northern Command H.Q. at the local Busby Hall. The cellar of the Vicarage was also used in WW2 as a Bomb Shelter. At one point the main house was also acting as an Ale House, supplying beer for the miners working on the banks.
