The Red Lion (3) - lamp, 147 Brettell Lane, Amblecote, Stourbridge
This is one of the Banks's houses which has retained a lamp with the Banks's lion, over its front door. Possibly, in late Victorian times, they were lit by gas.

The Red Lion (2) - sign, 147 Brettell Lane, Amblecote, Stourbridge
The sign follows the normal design for Banks's houses, with its golden lion.
The Red Lion remains the most common name given to public houses. The name derives from King James VI of Scotland, who inherited the English throne in 1603, on the death of Queen Elizabeth I. He became King James I of England, and to reinforce his authority to rule, he decreed that all public buildings (including taverns) must display a heraldic red lion in a prominent position. This resulted in many pubs acquiring the Red Lion name. Judging by its appearance, this particular Red Lion pub almost certainly wasn't around in the 17th century, but the tradition of giving this name to pubs seems to have carried on for a long time. According to The Inn Sign Society's website, there are thought to be about 600 Red Lion pubs still in business, and over the years many of the same name have closed.

The Red Lion (1), 147 Brettell Lane, Amblecote, Stourbridge
The town of Stourbridge has several pubs called the Red Lion within its various districts. This one is at Amblecote and is a Banks's house. Next door on the left is a computer services shop. This belonged to the same brewery as the pub and was in use as a private house, when planning permission was given in 1991 to convert it to retail premises and offices.

York House, 9-12 High Street, Amblecote, Stourbridge
York House is rather an unusual building with a central balcony at first floor level and rather an art deco appearance. Much of the ground floor is taken up by the floor covering retail shop of Kidderminster Carpets. Other businesses are based there too and some space was available to rent.
