Red Lion, High Street, Lindfield

One of four pubs on the High Street. The original Red Lion was located next door, see Image, until 1720 when it moved to this location. The inn rose in prominence when the main street was made part of a London-Brighton turnpike and was an official stop on the route until the coaching trade ceased in the aftermath of the construction of the railway. The garden contains an original 'horse gin' building that was moved here from its former location at Lindfield Brewery that was located in Denmans Lane.
