The Golden Lion - now another closed pub?

Regretably since Image was taken in July this year, the pub was suddenly boarded up on Friday 15th November, 2013. It is one of some 30 listed buildings in London Colney; I hope it doesn't get knocked down! The closure also loses the community a nice hall facility (the building on the left). Further information at Image taken in 2008. March 12th 2014: Shutters removed from doors and windows and work apparently in progress inside! The pub reopened later in 2014. But I regret to say that it was suddenly closed again in January 2018. In late November 2018 planning permission was applied for to convert the pub into accommodation, the Function Room into two houses and to build flats on the garden area.
