The Talbot Inn first appeared in Chorley on the 1861 census and was one of a handful of pubs in close proximity to the railway station, the others including the Waggon Makers, Station Hotel, Railway Hotel, Leigh Arms and Railway Hotel.  It has been a hairdresser/Barber's shop now since around 2006 and no longer trades as a pub.  Next door the Waggon Makers, now called Sam's Bar is still open.
