Favourite pub sign

Not so much a favourite, as a 'topical (then) discovery' which a few of us rode past somewhere in Wiltshire last year - at Solstice time. We didn't go in.
Unlike William

They'll get lots of free houses...and bleat about how little one has to upkeep them and one needs a little more money from one's devoted public etc. He definitely needs the Vulcan ears addition!

Did we??

I knew we would have done pub signs before somewhere!

Here is one in Todmorden that I rather like. (Strictly, it's a board on the wall of a pub, but it's near enough.) I don't do pubs any more but a friend has had some good nights out there. It is run by a Thai family. I think you can see where they are coming from with some of the comments on the board!

I have visited a lot of pubs in my life but the Golden Lion in Todmorden has to be in the top ten for weirdness, I enjoyed the visit though.

I feel curious to see what it is like, but I don't really want to go to pubs and not drink beer, and I don't trust myself to drink sensibly so I had better not do it at all!

One from the Albion Inn in Chester. Its an old style local done out in WW1 stuff and used to be good ... before we had kids (dogs are more welcome and probably better behaved)...

There's a pub in Welling called "Fanny on the Hill", I havent got a picture of the sign though.

Sad to report that the Fanny on the Hill has now been knocked down and turned into flats.

Talk about a thread resurrection, I read through and thought Vernon was on his second coming for a moment!

Not pub signs, but humorous pub chalk boards...

Many, many years ago there was a pub on or near the A33 south of Reading. It was owned by Courage (do they still exist?) and featured their logo, a cockerel on the sign, with the name of the pub below: "The Partridge".

There used to be a pub at Crown Point in Denton, Manchester, called the King's Head (variously with and without apostrophe). The sign was a painting of Denis Law in Scotland kit heading in a goal. The pub is now sadly renamed Last Orders.

Here's one from Earl Sterndale in Derbyshire.

From my one visit, the sign is more notable than the pub.

In some ways you're right but I hold it in fond affection. I revisited it after a break of 25 years and the same miserable landlady was still serving.
We ordered 2 large pork pies and asked for 5 plates so the 5 of us could share. The landlady looked at me with menace and growled...
"2 pies. 2 plates"

Nice, and have you posted it in the Your cycle in front of a wall pics thread?

No, but it is in the Your Ride Today thread.

I like the Kings Head but the Queens Legs not so much. apparently rarely open anyway.
