A MAJOR Fre which kept FreFghters occupied throughout the night may have Fnally ended any hopes that Lymm's Railway pub might one day re-open. Nine Qre engines from Stockton Heath, Warrington, Irlam, Altrincham, Northwich, and Congleton, with relief crews from Runcorn, Ellesmere Port and Chester were involved in a battle to try and save the old pub, in Mill Lane. Water was pumped from a nearby pond and Mill Lane was closed to trafQc. The blaze involved the whole of the Qrst and second Roors and the roof. Fire investigation ofQcers and the police are looking into the cause. The Railway has been closed for several years - much to the regret of locals who appreciated the real ales for which it was once famous. It was also a popular centre for folk music.
