Description
The Railway Hotel is a hotel built around 1833, featuring a rendered and painted cream and brown exterior. It has a slate roof and rendered end stacks. The building stands three storeys high and has a three-window range with quoins. The central entrance is framed by a plain stone doorcase that includes a cornice moulding above, with 20th-century double doors. A lamp is mounted on a bracket above the entrance. The upper parts of the sash windows have glazing bars and are set within shouldered and elbowed architraves. There are two rectangular bay window projections on the ground floor, which may have been added later. At the rear, there is a gabled wing and stabling. The hotel originally served as the station for George Stephenson's Leicester-Swannington railway, and the stabling was used by carriers for the Midland Railway, which acquired the railway in 1848.
