Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY5082657758, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building's use in 2018: commercial.

Hayton's scheme pub, taken and refitted in August 1916 and closed in 1949 by Mike Tuer's records. It stood a stone's throw from the White Lion, now the Stone Inn, which appears to have stayed outside the scheme; the two Lions in one small village are why the Stone Inn's scheme story took some untangling. The Brampton bench's annual report, printed in the Cumberland News on 15 February 1919, says the Red Lion, Hayton, was taken under the Liquor Control Board's management on 2 December 1918, the only inn in the division to change that way in the year.

That is over two years after Historic England's August 1916, so either the Board held the house for a time before it took the licence into management or one of the two dates is wrong.
