Wasn`t the Grosvenor Hotel next to the Lion on the corner of Nursery street? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The map seems to show they had the same footprint. Could the Grosvenor have been on the floors above the Lion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There was the Lion just around the corner on Nursery St where the Riverside Court is now but that was before my boozing days. Yes. That's it, The bull and oak. With regards to the the White Lion/New White Lion and the locations. I am not certain which was which but one of them was on the corner of the Wicker and Nursery Street as you say and the other one became Bennetts  Fishing tackle shop. The frontage of the old shop is still there to plainly see. You had to access the shop via Stanley Street. The one on the corner had a snooker table in there. I played there a couple of times. If I remember rightly the floor sloped and as the table obviously had to be level it was quite confusing when you had to take a shot from the deep end as it seemed.
