Timeline
PubWiki Lion (West Street) lists Benjamin Baker in Billings Directory 1854.
Important continuity/rebuild event. CAMRA states the Lion has been a Wadworth Brewery pub since its 1988 rebuild, after a campaign to preserve the site as a pub. This is not a closure or rename; model as rebuild/continuity.
probable fact
The Lion was rebuilt in 1988 and has been a Wadworth Brewery pub since that rebuild.
Lion rebuilt 1988 (CAMRA / previously researched). Continuity not truncated at 1970.
The Lion reopened on 20 October 2019 following internal redecoration and floor works. Temporary works / continuity event — not a new opening or venue identity (modelled as refurbished, not reopened).
