Description
The Railway Inn, built around 1895, is a two-storey tenement and public house located on a corner site. It features an octagonal corner turret and has a notable pub interior on the ground floor. The building is constructed from bull-faced sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, including a base course and a fascia cornice. The window cills are rounded at the ground floor and chamfered at the first floor. The canted corner is supported by brackets that hold up a projecting section. The door on the west elevation has a moulded architrave with a keystone and a scroll motif, flanked by narrow windows with astragalled upper sections, and a carved panel inset above featuring a central monogram. The building has a pair of shouldered gables that break the eaves.
On the first floor, there are four-pane fixed timber windows, while the upper floor has non-traditional timber-framed windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a flared cap on the turret's weather vane finial, along with coped ridge stacks and clay cans.
Inside, the pub has timber panelling up to dado height. There is an ornamental two-section timber island gantry supported by turned posts, and a large, heavy, U-plan timber bar counter with metal hooks. The entrance includes a jug-bar with coloured glass and an ornamental, finialled crown. The rear lounge features coffered ceilings with elaborate cornicing and plasterwork. Ornamental coloured-glass screens are present in the windows, and the gents' toilet includes a substantial marble urinal, ceramic tile walls, and stone tiled flooring.
