Red Lion

The Red Lion stood opposite the Potteries Electric Traction Tramway Depot in Stoke-on-Trent and outlived the tramway by many years. The Red Lion was much frequented by tram staff and later by the PMT bus staff who took over from the PET in the 1930's. It finally closed in 1973 to allow for street widening for the A500 Queensway road - but it was carefully demolished brick by brick by members of the Tramway Society and was eventually rebuilt at Crich using original materials wherever possible and reopened in 2002 at a cost of £500,000.
