The Red Lion Dalkeith - How I found it
25th February 2009
With a little bit of luck and detective work.
Last week while taking an image of a rampant lion on a wall in Dalkeith, a passerby advised that the building
(now a bank) used to be a pub called the Red Lion.
Spookily, a member of my camera club had some old images with him at our last meeting, one of which showed Dalkeith High Street and the Red Lion.
John kindly let me borrow his print, which I scanned and I have circled the pub.
The detailed shot below is a little noisy, but you should be able to make out the sign above the door
The bank appears to have extended somewhat to the right.
