Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY3261850216, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building's use in 2018: residential.

Thursby's second pub, closed by the Board in 1918, leaving the village to the Ship, which stands almost next door. The Board closed another Horse and Farrier at Lingyclose Head the same year. At the Wigton licensing sessions of February 1909 its licence was renewed to Margaret Brough, though she had been convicted three months before of permitting drunkenness; it was her first slip, and the house had lately been almost entirely rebuilt by its owners, the Maryport Brewery Company.

In February 1919 the Wigton Advertiser listed it, with the Brisco Arms at Micklethwaite, among fourteen houses the Control Board had closed in the Wigton division.
