Historic Interest
Dating back to at least 1830, the pub was originally a beer-house called the Wideshaft after a short-lived adjacent colliery; it was recorded as the Old Wideshaft in 1875. Bought by Eadie’s Brewery in 1883 and later renamed the Railway Inn after a nearby railway line known as the Swadlincote Loop (variously constructed over the period 1826 – 1882; closed 1964). Eadie’s was taken over by Bass in 1932. In 1999, Bass sold the pub to the Mansfield Brewery, which was taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley (now Marston’s) later that year.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Occasional; from Marston's list.) and 1 regular beer.
