Lion, Ramsey St Marys

T-shaped building with hipped gables built in 1950s to replace old White Lion. Photographs of local flooding and the old pub. Original 50s bar area, with separate rooms for pool and darts, large restaurant/function room. Reopened Dec 1st 2017. Real ale sometimes available. Closed in 2020.

A group of local residents are campaigning to save the pub from permanent closure, since the fear is that the owner of the pub plans to apply for planning permission for change of use of the land at the rear of the property, for use as a housing development, which would make the pub commercially unviable. The group are in the process of being registered as a Community Benefit Society, the Ramsey St Marys Community Pub Ltd, and getting Ramsey Town Council to register the Lion as an Asset of Community Value.
