Bromley & District Times, Friday 13 July 1894.
Railway Hotel, Bromley.
No house in the neighbourhood is conducted upon a more practical or
straightforward basis than the
"Railway Hotel," presided over by Mrs. E. Grayley, the affable
hostess, who even studies the comfort and
convenience of her guests. In addition to the first class liquors,
cigars, and tobacco, the house offers
additional attraction of a substantial dinner for 1s. 6d. per head,
plenty of good beef and vegetables being
provided, together with every attention. Indeed, it may be readily
admitted that Grayley's, Hotel is one of
the most up-to-date houses in the district.
