The Golden Lion is one of Birmingham’s oldest surviving pubs, with origins in the 16th century and important later alterations reflecting the city’s commercial development. Currently undergoing conservation by Oliver Architecture and Reynolds Conservation, the project is revealing significant historic fabric and construction techniques that are rarely accessible to visitors.
