Red Lion Event
A rare glimpse of Edwardian life outside the Red Lion Inn, Stalbridge, on 22nd April 1905. Townsfolk gather with quiet excitement as a horse-drawn carriage prepares to depart. Dressed in their Sunday best, children cluster near the inn’s entrance while adults look on, capturing a moment of communal life that has long since faded.
This scene unfolded the very same year the first ever British fingerprint conviction was made—marking a milestone in forensic history. Meanwhile, public houses like the Red Lion remained essential hubs for news, travel and social gathering across rural England.
🍂 A portrait of village tradition and timeless community spirit.
