This pub is recorded in 1842, 1851 and 1856. By 1867 it had become the GOLDEN LION, yet in the 1881 census it is still recorded as the CROWN ! Some time between 1851 and 1869 High Street in Hillfields was renamed Castle Street.


Well over 500 pubs have this name, reflecting the popularity of an inn sign that has been used for some six hundred years. It is a simple visual symbol, easy to illustrate and easy to recognise whilst at the same time it demonstrates loyalty to the reigning monarch.
