What happened with the Red Lion, simon r. ? Looks rather quaint and hospitable from the review.

I suspect the review you're looking at is a different Red Lion. (The Red Lion is a very common pub name in England). The one that is now a pile of rubble was in Costock, Nottinghamshire. This was it before:

Costock's a small village with another pub in it - my guess is that there just wasn't enough business to keep them both going.

Marker at the surveyed county line between The County McLean and Woodford County. These were put up in the 1920's, I believe. The text reads :"Abraham Lincoln passed this way as a part of his duties as an attorney on the Eighth Illinois Judicial Circuit."or some such thing.

On my ride today.
Crumbs! You had better watch out! There's murderous toast on the prowl.
