Railway Arms, 58 Church Street, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire
Rickmansworth pub history index
The Batchworth Arms, was formerly the Railway Arms at 58
Church Street, Rickmansworth Herts. 1866-1994. It was built from three cottages
being knocked into one shortly after the opening of the Rickmansworth ( Church
Street ) station situated opposite. The station closed in 1952 and was taken
over by a printing firm and eventually the site was redeveloped for housing thus
breaking the connection with the Railway and the pub.
The pub took on the name of the local area and became the Batchworth Arms or the
' Batch' as it was known colloquilly.
The pictures show a painting of the pub shortly before it closed and the day it
was demolished in 1994
