Local entrepreneurs therefore opened inns, taking religious names to imply monastic patronage. Their signs were inspired by pictures in stained glass windows, hence pubs called The Angel, Lamb (of God) and Ship (Ark). <BR/><BR/>I've just published a book on pub sign history and didn't find a law saying that there needed to be a pictorial sign. But as no one could read, it made sense to advertise your pub with a nice picture. Later, landlords used signs to advertise the beer on offer (Cock & Bottle), facilities (Horse & Groom on stage coach routes), entertainment (Bear for bear baiting) or an association with local trade (Carpenters, Masons, Blacksmiths Arms).<BR/><BR/>The pub sign came to Britain with the Roman Invasion so they're probably the world's oldest form of advertising. They've been inspired by religion, royalty, love, heroes and villains and, between them, they tell quite a story.<BR/><BR/>I missed the Unity in my research but it's a beautiful picture, again celebrating a moment in Britain's history.<BR/><BR/>Elaine Saunders<BR/>Author - A Book About Pub Names<BR/>www.completetext.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658231.post-28601893539847799572008-06-11T13:05:00.000+01:002008-06-11T13:05:00.000+01:00That is beautiful and so true.That is beautiful and so true.Mental P Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957544840704376193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658231.post-64871795503604965632008-06-11T12:10:00.000+01:002008-06-11T12:10:00.000+01:00lovely name...Mine in here Thankslovely name...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.picturingoflife.com/2008/06/universe.html" REL="nofollow">Mine in here</A> ThanksJuliana RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482713794453476721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658231.post-80235601399825360002008-06-11T08:48:00.000+01:002008-06-11T08:48:00.000+01:00A nice interpretation.

I have read somewhere that the pubs in the UK are legally obliged to paint a sign that shows the name of the pub in such a way that even illiterates can read it. Is that right?
