The Robin Hood (1), 196-200 Collis Street, Amblecote, Stourbridge
A popular pub with a claim to fame, as it was the first pub to receive a delivery of a cask of the wonderful Enville Ales, when the brewery opened in 1993. The bunting outside was probably connected with the Euro 2012 football matches, and the recent celebration of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.

The Robin Hood (2) - sign, 196-200 Collis Street, Amblecote, Stourbridge
The sign instead of having the usual picture showing the famous outlaw Robin Hood depicts a tree, presumably in Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. This is the place most often linked with Robin Hood, but he has also been placed in Yorkshire and elsewhere.

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.

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.
