The Lion Hotel was situated at 11 Clumber Street and is now used as an amusement arcade.
What I remember about the Lion Hotel, was what a busy lunch time pub it was. On a Saturday lunch time it would be packed. Not only did it serve a very agreeable pint of Home Ales, it did a roaring trade in cobs. There would be two women at the end of the bar making cobs that were sold as quick as they could make them. Big slices of cheese with onion or proper tasty ham. I was sad to see it closed. In a comment on here from a ex-area manager for Home Ales, who said the Fountain on Bridlesmith's Gate was the busiest pub, I bet the Lion would not be far behind for turnover. It was a lunchtime pub as at night, it was quiet.
