Busy pub on the junction of Cannock Road and Bushbury Road. The old turnpike road turned markedly at this point to cut off a corner on its route into Wolverhampton.

William Butler's were taken over by Mitchells and Butlers of Smethwick in 1960. The Springfield Brewery in Wolverhampton survived until 1991. The Golden Lion was designed by Richard Twentyman (1903-1979) whose practices Lavender, Twentyman & Partners and later Twentyman, Percy & Partners designed many modernist buildings in Wolverhampton including Beatties department store, the Eye Infirmary and St Andrew's Church. Twentyman also designed a number of pubs including the Pear Tree.
