Shevington - Station Inn (Gathurst)
Name: The Station Inn
Address: Station Approach, Gathurst Lane, Gathurst, Shevington
The station was built by the Manchester and Southport Railway and opened on 9 April 1855, and from January 1885 was part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR). The main stone-built station building, which is the home of the Station Inn was built during this time, in the standard L&YR style.
The L&YR amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922 and in turn was grouped into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923. Nationalisation followed in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Rail.
The Gathurst Station Inn opened in the late 1980s/early1990s. First landlord was Joe Tindall. Doreen Bateman was then the landlady for a long spell, and her daughter then ran it for a while, before Sharon, who worked there as bar maid for years, got it. When it reopened after a period of closure in late 2015 the landlady was Sharon Gaskell-Woolley (2017-).

The Gathurst station Inn opened in the very late 1980s? Definetely open in very early 1990s. First Landlord was Joe Tindall. Doreen Bateman was then the landlady for a long spell, and her daughter then ran it for a while, before Sharon, who worked there as bar maid for years, got it. There is possibly a couple of short term licences in between some of this lot too.
