The Red Lion was situated at 24 Catherine Street.

This pub had opened as The Pearces Arms by1828 when the publican was  Joseph Brunt. It changed its name to The Red Lion in 1831 and at some later point 22 Catherine Street was incorporated into the pub.  It was later known as The Barnfield. The pub closed in 2014 when planning permission was granted to convert it into flats.
