More about this scene
The original Railway Tavern dated from 1859. The building was later transformed into shops, but has now gone. Its replacement, the Railway Hotel that we see here, was built between the wars at the Station Lane junction. The pub became especially well-known for its home-cooked hams. The war memorial—with Greek maiden and her once fully-operational electric torch—had been erected in 1922. When this area became a tortuous gyratory system, she was shifted to Howard Park.
