The (ex) Railway Pub - Phillip (27th Feb 2010 - 20:07:28) Hi, anyone any idea what's going to happen - what's its future, timescales - or is staying boarded whilst its future is yet-to-be decided? Thanks

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Brian (28th Feb 2010 - 10:41:11) Is this the railway hotel opposite the station. Was hoping to stay over there when visiting liphook later in the year can someone advise? [Editor - yes]

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - neil (1st Mar 2010 - 09:29:54) Brian you had a lucky escape, there are a few good B&B's in Liphook would be much better. I do believe the pub will become flats [editor - see local accommodation]

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - liz (1st Mar 2010 - 10:52:20) Re: 'accomodation'. Tylston lodge no longer a B&B as far as I'm aware and hasn't been for some time. I also heard the Railway had been bought by a small company who own a couple of pubs reasonably locally. [editor - will remove them from the accommodation page]

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Sue W (1st Mar 2010 - 11:07:28) Hi recently I discovered this local B & B not too far from the Station either. Oak Tree House - 2 Locke Road, GU30 7DQ - 01428 725061 & 07831 306710 [editor - FYI - I have added Theydon on Headley Road to the accommodation page]

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Jan J (1st Mar 2010 - 14:34:29) Brian, I can highly recommend the Black Fox pub, i stay there when i visit Liphook, the food is very good, and the rooms are always clean and tidy.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - claire (7th Mar 2010 - 12:03:47) Theydon on Headley road is fabulous! My parents stay there when visiting us for big family gatherings ( an oasis of calm away from our mad house!). The owners are so welcoming and my parents never leave without a little gift , home made cider jelly ,fuscia cuttings or simlilar.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Allan (19th Mar 2010 - 17:16:02) In answer to previous speculation about the above it appears that whomever purchased it will seek planing permission to convert it into 14 "starter" flats. First, of course, Punch Taverns will have to persuade the planning authorities that they exhausted conventional means to dispose of it as a going concern - without success - to be able to have the premises de-licensed. An agent of either the vendor or the purchasor (or both) is currently attempting to make a case for this by establishing that the demand for hotel/letting rooms in Liphook is currently sufficiently well enough served by what existing hotels, pubs and b&b's provide now without the Railway.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Sudha Rai (20th Mar 2010 - 12:04:20) I wonder what "starter" flats mean?Are they for the public to buy or rent?Does this mean that there will be people living in Station Road?I think it will be a real boost for the businesses along there.What does everyone else think about this?

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Dawn Hoskins (20th Mar 2010 - 12:05:40) OMG, more flats with no parking! That's going to make Newtown even worse than ever......

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - helen (20th Mar 2010 - 18:58:48) Tell me about the parking have enough problems there now and thats just for the residents!!!

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Brian (3rd Apr 2010 - 20:10:39) Thanks for all your help and advice. Have stayed at Tilston lodge, Black Fox and Frensham Ponds Hotel previously but deceided on The Geogion House Hotel at Haslemere why not lifes to short.I'm only staying three days and decided to get about by bicycle does any one know where I can hire one in Liphook or Haslemere. Might even go looking for Buzzards?

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Jan J (4th Apr 2010 - 18:10:45) Brian, Try Cycle Works, in West Street, Haslemere, or Liphook Cycles in the square, Liphook, if they are not able to help, they might know of someone who can. Enjoy your stay.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Sudha (6th Apr 2010 - 09:08:20) Brian, When you do visit Liphook later this year do please visit the Gurkha Chautari ...it is a Nepalese Restaurant in Station Road quite near the now ex-Railway Pub.The food is delicious and prices very reasonable.Tel No:01428 729355

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Dawn (17th Jun 2010 - 19:55:53) Do the flats that are (I presume) being developed come with any parking?

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - MARY ARBER (25th Jun 2010 - 10:04:14) I have been asleep or has any planning applications gone in yet for this conversion ? Mary

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Chris S (12th Jul 2010 - 13:26:51) Here's a planning application that may also answer one of the questions above re parking planningdevelopment.easthants.gov.uk/... Chris

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - liz (13th Jul 2010 - 09:16:58) I hope the Bramshott and Liphook Preservation Society are on to this......

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Shirley Hawley (14th Oct 2010 - 11:23:42) I have seen the Railway Hotel, although it would be a shame to lose the Pub, the building itself should be saved along with its history, flats may not be a bad idea. If anyone out there can tell me of the history I would be grateful, I know there is a plaque on the wall of the older part of the buliding on the garden side to someone called 'Scotty' and I would love to know more! I have asked around but knowledge is sparce. Look forward from hearing from someone. Shirley Hawley.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - helen (14th Oct 2010 - 12:54:41) Scotty was a man who used to drink in the pub alot back in the 1980's,the plague was put there as a memoriable.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Eneida (14th Oct 2010 - 14:56:56) Plague!!!! No wonder it was shut down....

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - Bridget (14th Oct 2010 - 16:06:21) Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Im afraid I do know that Scotty died some twenty years ago. Bridget.

Re: The (ex) Railway Pub - suzanne titcomb (14th Oct 2010 - 17:22:47) did the Bookers have this pub in the 60's I remember the history in these years
