A reminder that those lovely
people at Greene King did once know what a proper pub signboard should be
like. (That is, not like this
cheap-looking tat.) Unfortunately, the pub itself, and
therefore even more so the signboard, is under threat, GK having put it on the market
freehold. Let’s hope the locals are able to rally round and save it.
As for the sign, I have no idea whether the
artist had a particular view or scene in mind, although one of the chaps sat
outside the pub when I took the picture suggested that the background looked a
bit like the view from Lose Hill
to Mam Tor in Derbyshire. There is a certainly a slight similarity, but I’d have
thought that the tree – and the boy climbing it – would be somewhat out of
place in that landscape.
