The Swan & Railway Hotel
The pub, a recipient of the prestigious 2021 Historic England Conservation Award, was originally constructed in 1898 by WEV Crompton. This timeless period inn is a testament to classic architecture, boasting a striking stained-glass window and a curated collection of historical photographs that capture the essence of the old town, the railway, and rugby league. The pub proudly hosts seven handpumps, with Draught Bass being a celebrated feature. It also showcases local breweries, including Hophurst, Wily Fox, and Wigan Brewhouse, offering patrons a taste of the local brewing scene. Conveniently located, the pub sits directly opposite the Wigan North Western railway station, making it an easily accessible destination for both locals and visitors alike. This award-winning establishment not only serves as a hub for socializing and enjoying quality brews but also as a living museum, preserving and showcasing the rich history and heritage of the area.
