General notes

A large group of men and two ladies stand outside the inn. Signage indicates the owner/proprietor/landlord to be J W Heaton. At the time of the photograph, Railway View Road extended from Waddington Road to Parson Lane. Later, part of this become Station Road. The Directories of 1900 list the inn as No 38 Parson Lane; the building still stands at the junction of Station Road and Parson Lane and is now named The Castle Inn.

6. RAILWAY VIEW INN (THE CASTLE PUB)
Looking at old photographs can sometimes feel like archaeology, and we can only wonder what the lives were like of the people in the photograph. If you zoom in on the image it looks like it has been snowing, so who these people are and what brought them all to sit for a photo outside on a snowy winter's day might forever remain a mystery. We do know what became of the building: The Railway View Inn is now The Castle pub.
