Overview
A lavishly illustrated celebration of the humble pub sign, with fascinating and informative captions complementing 180 images.
Many inn names and signs are quite literal. If you hear of a pub called The Dog And Duck you might expect to see a sign depicting a dog and duck – but sometimes the meaning is less obvious. Is The Black Bull really a farmer’s 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.
