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.
