New sign
News from SIBA Pub Associate member
New pub sign to be unveiled tomorrow Saturday 11th July at around 2pm.
As the article here describes, the hand painted pub sign is in decline and being replaced with corporate designs (you only have to look out of the Grove Tavern’s window for an example – no names but has to do with the four signs of the compass … oops!).
As the old Grove Tavern sign, depicting two people in Victorian garb of which I have no information as to any ties with the pub, was showing signs of wear & tear we have commissioned a new one. It has been based on an original sign as per the Whitbread collector’s card pictured on the right.
All are invited to come and join us in a few jars to celebrate.
