The Railway Tavern, 6 - 10 High Northgate, Darlington (Darlington)

The Railway Tavern, was built in 1826-7 by the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company (S&DRC) and was sited immediately opposite their Darlington Branch Coal Depot. It was one of three inns built by the company in the mid to later 1820s which along with a goods warehouse marked the earliest attempts by the company to provide facilities for both passengers and goods. The building was designed by John Carter who served the company between 1824 and 1828. Falling trade led the S&DRC to dispose of all three pubs in the mid-later 19th century; the Railway Tavern was sold by auction in 1870 but remained in use as a pub and was modified internally and the front redesigned in the later 19th / early 20th century. This is a two-storey, four bay building of brick construction, now rendered, with stone quoins. It has a modern tile roof with brick gable chimney stacks and a central stack.

This was added to the Local List on 13th November 2023.
