Railway Inn, Upper Killay

A three rooms and passageway pub in the same ownership as the tiny Swansea Brewery enabling drinkers to sample a number of their beers in unspoilt surroundings. Built in 1864 at the same time as the railway (now a cycle track) that runs alongside it. The passageway connects its three rooms and the hatch/door in a part-glazed partition could have been the off-sales in the past. The small public bar on the left has a bar counter at least 60 years old with a new top, ply-panelled walls from c.1960 and fixed seating of a similar date with the spindly ornamental timbering added later. There are a number of shelves of varying date forming a bar back. Across the passage is a small room that has lost a fireplace and has been brought into use at some time. At the rear is a lounge - originally it was half its present size but it has expanded into domestic quarters in recent years and also has added timbering. The small counter here is a modern addition replacing a hatch - there are no fittings of any great age in this room. Outside gents' and ladies' toilets.
