The Red Lion, Blewbury Oxfordshire


This was my old local for a while, and even did a season behind the bar there. I was a pretty hopeless barman, it must be said.


As with many pubs, The Red Lion's character changes with the current Landlord, and it's certainly seen a good many over the years. To me, the glory days were always when Roger and Caroline ran the pub. This days, it seems to be at it's best on sunny summer evenings or around Christmas when younger Blewburyites all return home to see their families.

Nice to hear your story !

My farther-in-law was a Bernardo Boy who lived with his foster mother in Blewbury, He passed the Red Lion on his way to school in the 1st decade of the 20th Century (around 1907 - 09).

There are some old ones on the 100 years of Photographs folder at the town's website.
