The Mainline Tavern was situated on Whyke Road. Known for most of its long existence as The New Inn, it was a Gales tied house. This pub closed when a new pub of the same name was built to the right of the original building in the above photo. It became a private house, with the address of 33 Whyke Road, with a small business at the rear, which made small wooden items such as deck chairs and tables. Eventually demolished to make way for a small housing estate.
