In 2013 Tesco attempted to convert the Somerset House pub, which appeared to be thriving according to some locals, into a Tesco Express. They abandoned their plans in 2015 as a result of public protests but a new Co-op opened on the site in August 2019. The pub had an entry in the book “Haunted Inns and Hotels in North East Derbyshire”. “When this was a private house in 1934, it was owned by a wealthy gentleman farmer. One day after a shoot, he took friends back to Somerset House for a drink. They placed their guns down outside the house. A boy aged ten, picked up one, and pretended to shoot his sister. However, the gun was loaded. He shot his seven years old sister dead. The ghost of the little girl haunts the building. Now a pub, she locks doors and turns off lights. She whispers the names of the staff to them. She has even scratched them in their sleep.” This story is full of inaccuracies. A more accurate description of the tragedy that took place at Somerset House Farm which involved the Bowler family is described in detail in the following newspaper cutting.
