Railway Inn (Lees, OLDHAM)

The former Railway Inn (on right) in 2012.

The Railway Inn was situated at 21 St John Street (now 107 St John Street) in Lees next to the long gone railway line. The building had been a beerhouse before the building of the "delph donkey" railway line. The railway was completed in 1856 and a station at Lees was built. It's around then the Railway Inn appears on records. The records indicate that the licence for the inn was revoked in 1869 and the former Railway Inn became a private dwelling.
