St. Ives, Cornwall. Originally known as The Red Lion, it was mentioned in a 1728 survey of St. Ives and by 1784 it was called The Golden Lion. By the 1830s an enterprising innkeeper developed it into the towns main coaching inn with stabling for 40 horses. With the coming of the railway to St. Ives in 1847 a horse-drawn omnibus was set up to meet every arriving train, carrying guests back and forth to the inn. During the 1900s the inn developed a reputation for being haunted, with two resident ghosts including a Green Lady. During the latter half of the century patrons would sometimes be entertained during visits but the then owner, comedian Eric Morecombe. The interior has a hexagonal shaped bar in the front and a rounded bar in the back with plenty of seating around both, and there is a small beer garden in the rear. A lovely little pub in which to enjoy a Sea Fury Special Ale from Sharp's Brewery.
