Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer. 13 August 1955
Of 52 Yorkshire inns scheduled by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the past year as being outstanding historic or architectural importance, 27 are situated in York.
Fifteen of York's inns have been placed on the statutory list, meaning that they cannot be demolished or altered without notice, and the remainder of the 27 are on the supplementary list, and will be preserved as long as other and wider interests are not unduly affected.
The Red Lion Public House and attached outbuildings. The Inn was built in the 15th century, with alterations in the late 16th, early 17th and 18th centuries. Further alterations took place in the 19th century when the building was converted into a public house. See York Historic Environment for more ..
