Taken in the early Edwardian period, this photograph shows the Red Lion Inn when George Rowland was the licensee. There is a very nice painted sign of a lion on the frontage. The exterior of the building has changed very little since this photograph. Bay windows have been added on the ground floor, along with a porch entrance. Essentially however, the building looks pretty much the same. The Red Lion Inn started life as a beer house and was later notable as a combined pub and blacksmith's business operating close to The Cross at the centre of the village. The photograph is a bit fuzzy hence the relatively low price for what is quite a rare view.
