The Three Merry Lads was originally a farm house known as White Low, which was built about 1810 by the Marsden family. They had 3 sons who were known locally as the 3 merry lads.
The Three Merry Lads opened around 1833 as a beer house in a converted cow shed on the farm. The Redmires dams were being built at the time and several beer houses opened in the area to take advantage of the thirsty navvies. The dams were completed in 1854 and the trade would have dropped off with the farming business once again taking priority. An army training camp was opened in 1914 to prepare soldiers for the trenches, and once again trade would have flourished.
