Listed status: Not listed
The Railway occupies a Victorian building. It is interesting for the substantial survival of (now quite rare) fittings from a 1960's makeover. Both public rooms have bright, plainish serveries with sloped counter-fronts panelled with leatherette to match the seating. The public bar (once two rooms) has intact fitted seating and an above-bar lighting canopy, typical of its time.
The Railway occupies a Victorian building that may have been the station master’s house for the defunct Brightside Station below. Acquired by Tetley’s in 1954, from Gilmour’s, it is interesting for the substantial survival of (now quite rare) fittings from a 1960's makeover. Both public rooms have bright, plainish serveries with sloped counter-fronts panelled with leatherette to match the seating. The public bar (once two rooms) has intact fitted seating and an above-bar lighting canopy, typical of its time. The lounge extension occurred in 1978 (D.K.Davy, Area Architect, Joshua Tetley & Son.Ltd), at which point the barrel drop was moved from the right side of the building to the front. There is an old off-sales window in the entrance lobby.
In 2019, the gable end recently received an image of a steam locomotive.
