The Black Lion stands out on the corner of Black Lion Street and Prince Albert Street with its deep green, tile-clad exterior and ornate, gold-lettered signage. It serves as a reminder of the area's development, having occupied this spot since the late sixteenth century. In the late eighteen hundreds, the building hosted the local magistrates' court while the basement cells held prisoners awaiting trial. Patrons today sip their pints where accused criminals once waited to hear their sentences from the bench above.
