The Red Lion can now be seen to sell Tennant's Ales. Originally based in Sheffield, they were taken over by Whitbread's and the site is now closed. The unusual truck is built to carry lime, extensively quarried in this area. Note the appearance of an early form of television aerial on the chimney to the right.
