Roebuck Brewery Inn / Golden Lion, Lower High Street, Cheltenham

The Roebuck Brewery/ Inn became known as the Golden Lion.

Originally numbered 215 High Street and renumbered 393. It is now the Chicken Barbeque fish & chip shop.

The alleyway between the Chicken Barbeque and the Antique shop leads to Roebuck Cottages in Hereford Place.

This was Jem Edwards’ boxing saloon at the Roebuck Inn. Apparently it shows the mantelpiece which caused his knockout. (image courtesy Jon Hughes / Facebook)
