When the Red Lion was last used to sell ales and spirits there was no petrol station.
The Red Lion when it closed was taken over by Clarksons Tyres, then by PV Tubes. The Petrol Station didn't appear until they demolished all the property from the New Jerusalem Church to Plantation St, to make way for the bypass now known as East Gate.
In the days when the Red Lion was open across the road was the Oak Tree Inn.
Correcting the misuse of locations may seem rude to some of you newcomers, but if your going continue making the same errors you will come to believe yourselves.
If you had a fire in your house you would expect the Fire Brigade to attend wouldn't you, but they can only attend if you tell them where you are, not in Abbey St somewhere near the Swan Hotel.

State precisely and in detail what you mean or shut up.

Retlaw.
