The Golden Lion
Birmingham Conservation Trust are bringing one of Birmingham’s highly significant assets back to life.
The 16th century timber framed building was originally located in Deritend. It was in use as a public house until 1911, when the building was moved to Cannon Hill Park to be used as a cricket pavilion and refreshment room.
Our aims
We also actively seek to encourage access and promote enjoyment of the City’s historic buildings.
