Inn Signs of Britain

[macwilkin]

In our recent discussion of the "Glorious Glosters" (The GLOUCESTERSHIRE Regiment), I mentioned to Jock Scott that I had seen a pub sign that honoured the Glosters. Whilst searching for that particular pub, I found a great site devoted to British pub signs:

Are there any other pub/inn sign aficionados on the board?

Great site Todd,

Cool link, I'll have to bookmark that one and get back to it after work.

Pub and inn signs are something we really take for granted - my local is 'The Victoria Cross', and it has a sign showing the cross and a British Tommy.

The sign has been changed several times since we arrived here some 30 years ago, and it is no longer the sort of place I would go - the music is too loud and the beer too artificial, but maybe a new landlord will come along..

It would be interesting to know if the name of your local is in memory of a local who was awarded the VC.

Sadly, "genuine" public houses here in the states are few & far between. Two that I like to frequent whilst I am in St. Louis are:
