The Red Lion was situated on Hedsor Road. The name was later changed to The Old Red Lion and then Masons at time of closure, when it was converted to use as a Moroccan restaurant, which has now also closed.
The Red Lion was run by Alf and Bet Austin in the early 1970’s. I met their daughter Lori in the pub in 1972 ( she was a barmaid) and married her in 1973. Our 50th anniversary is on 27th January 2023. Another barmaid was Penny who supported Arsenal, and played women’s football. Amongst the regulars were staff from a motor racing team that was in Bourne End at the time.

Name Dates Comments Kevin Alexander 1974 I can remember having a small party there as a going away present as my parents & & myself migrated to Melbourne Australia on March 13th 1974 & have been there ever since, unfortunately names seem to escape me at the moment I used to ring the pub around 1975. & i believe the red lion had changed hands & was told the friends I had earlier had left the area, but still good happy memories of my younger days
