11. THE RED LION AND MELIA'S
The distinctive archway helps us identify The Red Lion pub, now 7 (Green Theory) and 9A (Abu Gypsy & Fig) Castle Gate. Having originally been next door at what is now Elan, Melia's Grocers and Tea Dealers later moved into these premises. Melia's was a significant British retailer selling groceries with stores often specialising in tea. The grand opening of Lords Butchers on Tuesday 30 March is being promoted in the window, which likely dates this photograph to either 1962 or 1956.
