There has been a Black Lion public house in Patcham for many years, but the present building seen here dates from 1929. The pub was rebuilt in this location to catch the passing trade after the opening of the Patcham bypass turned its former location into a sidestreet. Now a Harvester outlet http://www.harvester.co.uk/find-a-harvester/Theblacklionbrighton.html the eponymous but somewhat small beast can be seen sitting on top of the flint and brick pedestal.
