In
1850 the Great Northern Railway Company (GNR) took over the
running of the railway line that avoided Barnet hill.
They opened Barnet Station a mile and a half to the
east of High Barnet and renamed it New Barnet in 1884. With
the railways came the people and suddenly the population of
Barnet rose as new houses were built for those that wanted to
live away from the city.
The population of New and East Barnet grew from 353 in 1801
to 2,925 in 1861, East Barnet changed little but New Barnet's
population rapidly grew. Barnet was changing from rural town
to London suburb.
In the 1850's a William Aldridge purchased some land near the
railway station and decided to build a hotel namely, The Railway
Tavern. The licensee in 1862 was Robert Knowlman and others
have included a Mr. Thrale, farmer, of Walthamstow in 1879,
Mann Crossman (from 29/8/1898) and Charrington & Co (!/9/1898).
