Red Lion - Wybunbury, Cheshire, England, UK. - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

The Red Lion is located on Main Road opposite Saint Chad's Church. It is a Thwaites pub that is now run by Inns Profond (Cheshire) Ltd. [Padiham, Lancashire].

The Red Lion has a 3D image of a red lion mounted on the wall of the building and a free standing pillory sign that depicts a red lion with front paws raised in the air.

"Red Lion is the name of over 600 pubs. It thus can stand for an archetypal British pub. The lion is one of the most common charges in coats of arms, second only to the cross, and thus the Red Lion as a pub sign probably has multiple origins: in the arms or crest of a local landowner, now perhaps forgotten; as a personal badge of John of Gaunt, founder of the House of Lancaster; or in the royal arms of Scotland, conjoined to the arms of England after the Stuart succession in 1603."

The pub which had been closed for some time, re-opened in March 2012 having undergone extensive renovation.

The Red Lion is a popular family friendly pub that offers freshly prepared food, traditional cask ales and sunny beer garden to the rear.
