  • More about Pub Signs

The book explores the meaning behind inn names and signs, revealing hidden stories and unexpected connections. It offers a fascinating journey through the country's outdoor art gallery, with signs that can be as intoxicating as the alcohol. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or an art lover, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of inns.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 96 pages

Publisher: Amberley Publishing


Many inn names and signs are quite literal, but sometimes the meaning is less obvious. For example, if you hear of a pub called The Dog and Duck, you might expect to see a sign depicting a dog and duck. However, sometimes the meaning is more complex. Is The Black Bull really a farmers bull? Is The Old Cock really agricultural? Was there a Blind Beggar in Bethnal Green? Whether you quaff the ale or just want to admire a beautiful outdoor art gallery that covers the whole of the country, this is the book for you. Be warned, the signs can be as intoxicating as the alcohol. You may find a whole new exciting hobby here. Expect the unexpected.
