Sitting in the Shropshire countryside in Upper Farmcote on the outskirts of Bridgnorth, the Lion O'Morfe is a pub with a lot of history and with a reputation for being a good drinkers pub, popular with locals, walkers and cyclists.
It sits in a former Georgian farmhouse which became a pub in the early 1850’s after Thomas Bowker took advantage of the Duke of Wellington's Beer House Act 1830 and paid two guineas to turn his farmhouse into a pub.
Known as the Red Lion, the pub has been part of the community since and, in 1961, was renamed the Lion O'Morfe in reference to the manor land the pub was built on, with Morfe coming from the Welsh name meaning marsh.
The pub has been in the ownership of the Jervis Family since Brian Jervis bought the pub in 2010, after it had been closed for a few years, and current landlord Sam said a lot of work had gone into restoring and getting the pub ready to receive customers in 2015.
He said: "My dad has owned the Cider House in Bridgnorth for about 40 years and I'd helped out there in the past, doing shifts behind the bar and then, gradually doing more and more.
"Dad had also started doing a mobile bar business and we would go past this pub and he'd talk about how he'd own it one day and he managed to buy it off the lady who owned it and who had wanted to turn it into a house.
