I am trying to locate The Red Lion. It could have been a pub of a different name in Sams time? My great GGG, grandfather shot his farther in law in the pub around 1800. I have the court case notes. ( He got off with man slaughter, but that's another story) The red Lion was said to be in The Maze. I understood the Maze to be around the back of what now would be the area around London Bridge station along the Thames. It seemed to be a place of robbers and prostitutes then. I am often a foot around that way having a pint in The George and reminiscing, thinking of my family ties to the area and of Sam going about his busy life. I think "TheBear" at the foot of London Bridge was also called The Red Lion at one time? I would be interested to know a little more. SOS.
