Railway Hotel

Railway Hotel (Benjamin P. Walker, proprietor), Main Street, Johnsonville. The Railway Hotel is well situated, being close to the Railway Station, and a good business is done with the travelling public. It is a wooden structure of twenty-two rooms, and is in excellent condition. There are good stables, paddocking, and all conveniences. The proprietor, Mr. Walker, who has recently taken possession, was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and arrived in this Colony per “Claud Hamilton” from Sydney in 1865. For some sixteen or seventeen years he kept the Newcastle Hotel, Hokitika, and is therefore well known to the travelling community.
