Where's this Sign?

This page is for you to submit pictures of inn signs where the location needs to be identified and submit queries about specific signs.

in March 2013, members achieved a staggering success rate of almost 81% with 17 out of 21 signs positively identified. This was the highest percentage success rate that has been achieved since the scheme was launched in 2010.

Well done to all contributors!

A further reminder - do you  have any lost signs? I often forget precisely where a specific pub is located, particularly when visiting areas for the first time. I am sure I am not the only one to do so! Please email your signs as the feature has proved to be most popular with members.

Many thanks to members who have supplied 'lost' signs and to the members who have 'found' them!

An overall success rate nudging 60% is outstanding!

However, unless more signs are submitted, we will be faced with two options:

• Suspend the facility until fresh stocks are received
   
• Repeat previously unidentified signs - this is seen as the thin end of the wedge, as boredom will quickly set in

Common signs such as the Bulls Head, Railway, Swan etc are unlikely to be included unless there is some unusual feature (such as the brewer's logo/ name or visible part of the building, which may aid identification).

 

Please provide area or county details and year of photo, if known, to help narrow the search and submit your photos in jpeg format to the webmaster at the address below.
