So ….. farewell the Railway …….some of us will remember

Now for any one who remembers the Railway Inn on the corner of Cornbrook Road and Dover Street, or those who have followed the story of its slow lingering over decades ......... this is the end.


I first got to know it as a building spotted from the tram at Cornbrook, by which time it was just a couple of walls.

But once it was a real pub, busy offering up beer and cheer, but long ago closed and bit by bit lost more of its former glory.

So, for those who want to watch the last lingering years, here are a selection of Andy’s pictures of what was, from January, 2015, July 2018, and November 2020.


And for those who want more, along with the full story, just follow the link.*
