The Railway Tavern was situated on Seamer Road. The publican in 1893 was William Dawson.

My father, Ernie Hayden was the licensee of this pub from around 1968 to 1973, he took over from Albert Hays, who previously had The Carlton in Westborough.

In 1939 (according to the 1939 register) and maybe 10 years or so before and possibly some time after the pub landlord was Harry Marsh Ness, born and bred in Scarborough but an ex professional footballer for Barnsley, Sunderland and Aberdeen. He played in the FA Cup final of 1910 for Barnsley and 1913 for Sunderland...lost both games. He passed away in 1957 in Scarborough aged 72.
