Railway Hotel, Kirkham
The Railway Hotel is a building on Station Road in Kirkham, Lancashire, England. It was built around 1850, around a decade after the Preston and Wyre Railway arrived at Kirkham, and has been designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England since 1986. The Station Road on which it stands is the "lower" section, beneath today's B5192 "upper" Station Road, which passes Kirkham and Wesham railway station. Originally a railway hotel, later a public house, it is built in brick on a stone plinth with stone dressings and a slate roof. It is in two storeys and has a three-bay front. The slightly projecting porch has rusticated quoins and a semicircular arch, and the windows have moulded architraves. On top of the building is metal lettering forming the word "THE RAILWAY", while at the roof line, above the door, is a rectangular panel containing the word "HOTEL". In 1996, when the property was in operation as the Railway Inn, a network of tunnels was found behind the building's cellars. It is believed another building once stood on the site, possibly Walton Hall.
