Details

The Signal Box Inn is named for its location at Lakeside Station of the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway. The size of the building is approximately to the same scale as the trains that use the track.[3]

It has five hand pumps serving real ale and a beer garden and was submitted for a place in the Guinness Book of Records.[4]

It faced opposition for the title of the world's smallest pub from Sam's World's Smallest Bar in Colorado Springs, United States. The area of that establishment is 10.12 square metres, as opposed to the Signal Box's 5.95 square metres.[5][6]

gollark: *Weight* is mass times acceleration from gravity. The acceleration from gravity is probably going to change wildly across the whole observable universe, but I guess you could sample it at various bits and average it. In any case, that average acceleration probably won't be at the Earth level of 10-ish m/s².
gollark: No it wouldn't.
gollark: Why not?
gollark: That's just an oddly tall rectangle.
