Dance Information
Anyone who has stayed in the UK for a while will know that 'The Red Lion' is a very common name for public houses (inns, or pubs).The Red Lion Of Stow narrows the field down a little, but without knowing exactly which one the deviser had in mind, I will go with The Red Lion, Stow Hill, Newport, Wales.
One of the long-established pubs of Newport, there has been a Red Lion public house here on the corner of Stow Hill and Charles Street for well over a century. Cheers.
