The Samson Inn was situated on the B6318. This pub closed in October 2022. Originally a coaching inn established in the 17th C, the pub, was rebuilt and re-branded after a famous Steam Engine, when the railways arrived. The Newcastle-Carlisle line passes close by. Currently the Community is attempting to raise funds to run it as a Community Pub.

The Gilsland Community Benefit Society has been successful in its application for funding from the Government's Community Ownership Fund and is to receive £215,839. Coupled with the oversubscribed Community share issue of £140k, the Society hopes to complete the purchase by May 2024 and re-open the pub and accommodation.
