Regarding your photo – according to the following study no, that would not be the correct site – they place it just south of there, near corner of Cavell and Newark where, interestingly, there is a vacant lot. http://shalt.dmu.ac.uk/locations/red-lion-1567.html

The 16th century association of actors with ‘low’ culture and insalubrious surroundings is a strong contrast to the reserved pedestal we give the profession these days. Perhaps somewhere in-between would be ideal.
