The New Red Lion, The Dog & Duck,
The Station hotel
''The New Red Lion' was renamed 'The Dog & Duck' for a brief period in the early 19th Century. It reverted to being called 'The New Red Lion' after 1834. The 'New Red Lion' was renamed the 'Station Hotel' in the 1920's.
New Red Lion
The New Red Lion changed use into a Hotel, to cater for the large number of people arriving to stay in the town when the railway arrived and was later renamed 'The Station Hotel'

1919 Hull Daily Mail - Tuesday 07 January 1919 POCKLINGTON POLICE COURT. SATURDAY. Pocklington Licensee Fined.—The magistrates were engaged for several hours hearing a charge of permitting drunkenness on licensed premises, brought against Walter Hastings Askham, landlord the New Red Lion Hotel, Pocklington.— Mr H. Wray, Beverley, appeared for the prosecution, and Norman Crombie. York, defended. —Mr Wray said that on Wednesday, Dec. 4th, Supt. J. W. Robson saw four soldiers leaving the New Red Lion by the backyard door about 9.20 p.m. On getting into the street one man fell down, and all efforts his friends and the superintendent of police to get him on his legs were useless. A handcart was requisitioned, and the young soldier conveyed to the police station. Afterwards the superintendent found another of the four men laid helpless in Market-street. The military were telephoned to, and the soldier was conveyed to Millington Camp in a wheelbarrow. The other two men were able to walk there. Pte. McDougall (18), a private in the 5th Durham Light Infantry, said that his friend, Pte. Glen, had received some money, and he accompanied him the Feathers Hotel, where they had four or five small rums each. They afterwards visited the New Red Lion, where they each had a glass of beer, and then followed with four or five rums, he felt all right until he went into the fresh air, when he fell down.-—-Both advocates agreed that there was scarcity of rum at both Beverley and York the time (laughter). — Witnesses were called to prove there was nothing in the conduct of the men in the hotel to lead on to think they the worse for liquor. The men left the house about 8.45, and were seen leave the yard about 9.20.—The magistrates fined defendant £5 and costs.
