The Railway Inn is a pub in Spofforth, North Yorkshire, England.
The Railway Inn is a typical English pub with both a public bar and a lounge. It serves one cask beer, Samuel Smith Old Brewery Bitter, and some lagers, which are well kept in the cellar of the pub. [1]
Historic photographs of the village are displayed on the interior walls of the pub.
No logos of the brewery are shown outside, as the brewery has adopted a policy of not displaying the brewery name on their pubs. In 2019 the brewery introduced rules banning the use of mobile telephones, tablets and laptops within the indoor area of their pubs with the aim of removing activities which discouraged conversation.
A pub is in several countries a drinking establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises. The term first appeared in England in the late 17th century, to differentiate private houses from those open to the public as alehouses, taverns and inns.

A drinking establishment is a business whose primary function is the serving of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. Some establishments may also serve food, or have entertainment, but their main purpose is to serve alcoholic beverages. There are different types of drinking establishment ranging from seedy bars or nightclubs, sometimes termed "dive bars", to 5,000 seat beer halls and elegant places of entertainment for the elite. A public house, informally known as a "pub", is an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises in countries and regions of British influence. Although the terms are increasingly used to refer to the same thing, there is a difference between pubs, bars, inns, taverns and lounges where alcohol is served commercially. A tavern or pot-house is, loosely, a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and, more than likely, also be served food, though not licensed to put up guests. The word derives from the Latin taberna and the Greek ταβέρνα/taverna.
The recorded history of Wetherby, a market town in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England, began in the 12th and 13th centuries, when the Knights Templar and later the Knights Hospitallers were granted land and properties in Yorkshire. The preceptory founded in 1217 was at Ribston Park. In 1240, the Knights Templar were granted by the Royal Charter of Henry III the right to hold a market in Wetherby. The charter stated the market should be held on Thursdays, and an annual fair was permitted lasting three days over the day of St James the Apostle.
The Hare and Billet is a public house located in Blackheath, London, overlooking parts of Greenwich Park. In the 18th century, the Hare and Billet was a coaching inn.
