The building has also gone under the name of the "Station Inn," but
previous 1864 it was known as the "Rising
Sun." The original building mentioned above was demolished around 1900
and replaced for a new building with the same name.
Although it continued as a pub and was operating as one in 1967, it has
since closed.
