Railway Tavern Sutton Coldfield

proper brummie kid
Does anyone know if the Railway Tavern in Hackett St Sutton Coldfield is now the Station pub on Station St. I am sure I read somewhere that Station St used to be Hackett St. One of my distant cousins is listed on the 1881 census as Hotel manager of the Railway Tavern. Many thanks.
 
There seem to have been two pubs in station st. The Railway Inn , and the Station hotel. The Station hotel was the one at 44 Station st, to which you refer. I leave it to you to decide which is your ancestors, but would guess the Railway Inn. Two maps attached, on naming Station hotel, the other naming the Railway Inn

On the 1881 census the Railway Tavern and the Station Inn are listed separately. Railway is Fred Wrighton and the Station is William Stent.
