The Frog & Railway. The coming of railways in the nineteenth century made a huge impact on life in Britain and this was naturally reflected in the names of pubs. This particular sign comes from a pub on Didsbury Road in Stockport, Chesire, in the Greater Manchester Metropolitan County. The sign whimsically portrays the frog which in actuality is the name for a piece of track that allows two tracks to join or cross and is usually part of a level junction or railroad switch. Hand-painted on metal, both sides, with metal frame. The Frog & Railroad (No. PS358). Dimensions: 47.5"H x 35.5"W x 2"D. Shipping: $120.
