The Old Crown.

Pub signs with a Crown are some of the oldest of English signs dating at least to the mid-fifteenth century. They are also among the most popular signs with more than a thousand throughout the country. In earlier days it may well have started when the inn was on Crown property. It is a simple visual symbol while at the same time demonstrating loyalty to the reigning monarch. Pubmaster is one of the pre-eminent pub groups in England with more than 2000pubs. Hand painted on two sides with wooden frame.
