Shoulder of Mutton. This sign is surprisingly quite numerous, particularly in the North Country. It is thought to have been used where the innkeeper had an additional trade - butchering. This was a popular dish at inns in former times, served to stagecoach travelers. One of the most famous Shoulder of Mutton inns is in Brecknock in Wales and is where Sarah Siddons was born, a British actress and the best known tragedienne of the eighteenth century. This whimsical take on the sign is hand-painted on resin, both sides.
