The Railway Tavern was probably built around the same time of the opening of the nearby Claythorpe railway station in 1848. The main T-shaped plan building is two storeys high and is probably built of brick which has been covered in white render. The traditional windows have been replaced with white uPVC frames. The gabled roof appears to have cement tiles which probably replaced what originally would have been pantiles. By 1887 the main building had single-storey flat-roofed extensions constructed on its eastern and western sides. {1}{2}
