While we’re on the subject of images from the past, over in the steamy, oily corner of Chasewater, top rail and local historian Chasewaterstuff has dug out a gem. I’ll not comment too much, but I’d be interested to see who remembers this demolished pub fitted out like this. As I’ve said before, not much seems to be recorded of The Railway Tavern, so this is a real find.
I tip my hat to Chasewaterstuff – while you’re over there, do check out his blog, there’s some fantastic stuff.

Hi, Bob.
I, remember the railway tavern lichfield road, back in early
1970s.
I, worked at Idiens & Hopley builders at the time.
I, was sent to do some decorating at the pub.
I, had a life changing experience that day.
Has being 18 at the time I, had my first pint of GUINESS.
Cheers BOB.
l also remember drinking in one of the carriages but at the time it was quite dead………not long after they were pulled out and it became a local hotspot…….the disco was jam packed every week
