The "Pedestrian Arms" dated from the building of New Town Place (now simply part of Newtown Road) between 1842 and 1848, although the first record of a "beerhouse" on the site does not appear until 1861. Around 1877 the name was changed to "North British Railway Inn" as the North British Railway had its shed and yards not far away. Acquired by the State Management Scheme on 7 September 1916, the name was changed back to "Pedestrian Arms" - possibly to discourage use by off-duty railway staff. Sold by the Scheme to Greenall Whitley on 22 May 1973, the pub closed in 2012 and was demolished in 2015.
