Hogans was situated at 180 Victoria Road. Originally built as a Temperance Hotel around the time of the building of the Grade II* listed Darlington (Bank Top) Railway Station during the Victorian Era, then becoming the Park Hotel, Hogan’s is to be demolished from 30 Jan 2023 to make way for “safer and improved road arrangements” with the major modifications to the Station, to be completed by 2025. Plans were originally announced in June 2021 by Darlington Council, with the pub being described as “landmark premises”, featuring a series of arches supported by doric columns, and it was “considered a heritage asset because of its historic location and external appearance”, and “having a considerable significance in the context of Darlington”. Internally, however, it was of little significance, and it was felt its demolition would improve the situation of the station and the landscaping space provided would be ‘an enhancement’.
