Red Lion (2) - sign, 252 Bilston Road, Wolverhampton
The Red Lion remains the most common name given to public houses, although probably there have been no new Red Lions since Victorian times. The name derives from King James VI of Scotland, who inherited the English throne in 1603, on the death of Queen Elizabeth. 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. Clearly this particular Red Lion pub 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.

The Red Lion, Monmore Green
I had no idea Wolverhampton had trams (they look like the Croydon ones I do know well) but it was the first time I'd ever been here.

Midland Metro tram no. 06 in Bilston Road, Wolverhampton
The tram has just emerged from under the second of the railway bridges crossing Bilston Road. It is on its way to Birmingham Snow Hill. It carries the route number 1, but the system only has the one route from Wolverhampton to Snow Hill. It is however due to be extended to Birmingham New Street Railway Station, in the next few years. The tram is still carrying the old livery. It dates from 1999, when the system opened. Funding has now been approved for the whole fleet to be replaced with more and bigger vehicles. Presently out to tender, these hopefully will appear in the next couple of years or so.
