The Red Lion (night out)

Blantyre People
Comments

Mary Dawson shared this photo of a celebration night out in the former Red Lion Pub on Stonefield Road. The date is unknown but thought to be the 1970s.

Mary told me, “Sadly I think I may be the only one still living.”

Do you recognise this group of Blantyre folk?
