There are a couple of books by Gary Smith " A Trip Down the Flat" & " A Walk Up The Green" with excellent pics and history, having lived in a back house in Park Road until the age of 14 and attended ( sometimes ) HNR school, I can recommend these if you can get hold of them.

Does anyone remember this pub, The Railway Tavern, see attached.
It was and still is on the corner of Park Rd, Norton St and Wharf St.
I spent many an hour and a few bob in here, usually just before going to the match at the Hawthornes, that's West Bromwich Albion (baggies) for those that don't like soccer.
My grandparents at one time lived at 298 Park Road just to the right of the pub.

Use to use it regularly but sadly now closed, and had a lot of money spent on it in recent years, internally and externally. It was basically because of lack of trade. The 'Clifden' on Gt Hampton Street is apparently goning to re-open shortly (2024) and with its former title 'The Lord Clifden'.

The Lord Clifden opened on 19 December. In there Christmas Eve, done a lovely job, only problem was they had run out Guinness. Called round the Railway on the off chance there would be sign of any opening, but no, all curtains still closed, but at least no graffiti. Best wishes to all on the Forum for ‘25 onwards.
