Looks like the old White Lion pub in Kirkby Stephen has recently become The Taggy Man. It even sells Taggy Blonde, a beer brewed for them by the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery.

According to A Short History of Kirkby Stephen
Whilst in the church area, one last interesting fact is that the ‘Taggy’ bell is still rung at eight o’clock. After the chiming of the hour, the bell rings to mark the day of the month. The ‘taggy’ is an older form of the Norman ‘curfew’, to cover the fire. The local saying is that if children are not home by eight o’clock, the ‘taggy’ man will get them.
