I am not aware of a name change. To check, look at an early Barretts Directory.(in the library) This was a Thwaites pub, one of several they owned in that part of town, only a hundred yards away from at least two more. The railway came to Accrington in 1848 but this building is later than that. My suspicion is that it would be called the Railway from the word go, as it is so close to the station and travellers would realise this when they were looking for accomodation.
