I must have taken this photograph fifty-odd years ago when I was living near Stoke-on-Trent. Even then I couldn’t resist passing a pub without taking a photograph, just in case it wasn't there the next time. In the case of the Red Lion, Stoke, it wasn’t. It had been demolished brick by brick, only to be re-erected a couple of decades later at the Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.
That is amazing to me that a historic building could be taken apart brick by brick and put back together decades later in a different town. How ingenious and how good to preserve it. I like the Lion on the top.
