Some history of the Railway Tavern at Tamworth in Staffordshire

More information on the Railway Tavern at Tamworth to follow. I probably created the page as I had a link to the Railway Tavern from another page. When building the site it is easier to place links as they crop up rather than go back later on. I realise this is frustrating if you were specifically looking for information on the Railway Tavern. There is information on Staffordshire dotted around the website - click here for a suitable starting place.

On the 14th ult. he was guilty of similar conduct at the Railway Tavern, and sent to gaol. Defendant did not appear and the bench inflicted a fine of 20s. and 8s. 6d. costs, or a month."
