No longer The White Lion

Image: © Richard Law Taken: 24 Sep 2023

I photographed this place some 12 years ago Image, and more recently it was still trading as a public house Image The Covid pandemic may have seen the end of the place as a viable business, and the original building has now been demolished, with a new structure in its place. The overall 3-bay plan with gable ends and a chimney here on the western end has been retained, along with the wallsign, featuring the White Lion, suggesting it dated back to 1661. Despite that date, it was never listed, and has now been lost forever.
