Strange pub names

Or there's a pub which I used to frequent pretty much every Friday after work when I lived in Worcester. You can't see the sign very well in the picture, but it's called "The Swan with Two Nicks".

Now, a bit of a history lesson (don't yawn at the back!) - The building next to it in the picture is King Charles House. It was from this house that King Charles II made his escape, closely followed by Cromwell's forces after his defeat in the battle of Worcester in 1651.

There, that wasn't so bad was it ;)

One of my favourites was The Quiet Woman. The sign was of a hanging....

Another was a pub in Olney. Friends used to live in the village, and, as we went for a walk, he would turn to his misses, passing the pub and say " fancy the Old Cock Inn then"....... :LOL:

I know that pub in Olney - did they serve Dickens Cider?
The Vicars wife - she loved Dickens Cider!
Fond memories
 
Just remembered The Morgan, my local (named after the cars built in Malvern)

Talking of pubs with tenuous gentleman vegetables references in the name, it's known as Them Organ because of the way the pub name is split across the wrought iron gates across the beer garden.

You can just make out the right hand gate in this pic.

Castle Rock Brewery "The VAT and Fiddle" in Nottingham - HMRC Regional Offices are next door :p
 
Gt-Steve, took the words right out of my mouth! You have family in Pompey then?
Can't beat the Fawcett Inn, they even do their own cider you know! Actually a strange pub to drink in, usually banging out hard dance or trance of a weekend and full of 'chemically enhanced' feral types.
