“ I was born in the Old Red Lion in 1953 and went over to Barnet last weekend to take some photos. My family ran this pub for the best part of 50 years. We were that busy that at weekends we would employ a full time cellerman to change barrels and send up light ales to restock. Whereas one dray delivery will nowadays be enough for several pubs we would need two just for us. When Barnet fair was in town we would at least 12 people serving. And now it closes for lack of business. How sad. ”
