The building still stands but is now residential flats. The conversion has been done very sympathetically, and the developers obviously chose to keep elements that indicated it had once been a pub, as there is a beautiful and ornate solid metal(unpainted) sign depicting a steam engine which hangs from the wall on Sheen Lane. This also indicated that the original main entrance would have originally been on Sheen Lane, and not on Mortlake High Street as it had been for the last 30 or so of The Railway’s existence.
