No.7 Redcliff Street. The building was pulled down in 1864 and replaced
with warehouses, this stretch of Redcliff Street is now taken up by the Robinson

John and his wife Ann later moved from the Red Lion to the Angel Inn, at the other
end of Redcliff Street close to St.Mary Redcliffe church.
An extract from “The History of Bristol” by george Pryce, 1861.
Of ancient inns in this parish, the Red Lion, Redcliff Street, was established in
1606, and preserves remains of the old fashioned galleries which once surrounded
the yard or court below, and in which doorways led into sleeping apartments for visitors.
These galleries were of frequent occurence in the inns of that period.
