re The Farmers Arms Can you help me please? I'm looking for details of the origin of this name and associated sign. Also some 19thC mugs have an associated verse. Any references would be greatly appreciated-or photo of existing pub-sign Thanks PC

thanks for taking the time to take these very nice pub signs, I was in scotland for 2 years (79'-81') I really miss the uk, and it's great and friendly people! please tell me if you will have more down the road. thanks! Glade Campbell pleasant view Utah, USA

I'm off to visit my folks in the UK again next week. More to come!

These photos are quite beautiful. I'm esgerly waiting to see further additions. Any chance of a series of Green Man signs? I've always found the green man lore fascinating. Thank you for your excellent work.

Green Man sightings. Yeah, I like that. I'll keep my eyes open. There's on in my living room, I suppose I could start there.

Great site.....http://www.pubsigndesign.com thought you might like to look at my site, I'm an artist from Bristol who, over a little while, got incereasingly fed up with the state of the 'modern' English pub sign.....large breweries and leisure groups seem to be going down the road of getting computer generated images and sticking them behind an inch of plastic!!!!very tasteful! Anyway, I'd like your comments, there's only a few on the site, I'm currently working on The Castle Inn pub sign in Corfe, Dorset, and after I start the QuickSilver Inn in Yeovil.

Regards Graeme

Wonderful signs, Graeme. I particularly like The Foresters. I plan to be back in the UK in October, I'll have to try and snag one of yours for the collection :-)

I am looking to purchase authentic UK pub signs...any suggestions of where to begin? Many Thanks.

Chris,

Luckily for me, being an artist, pub signs usually disintergrate after a few years, this is a result of our lovely weather. But I am often asked to reproduce some of the 'older' designs....If I can be of any help email me @ pubsigndesign@hotmail.com graemerobbins@blueyonder.co.uk

Do you have any pictures of a pub in South Devon called the Winking Prawn? I am keen to see the sign. Cheers, sounds like an interesting pasttime.

Sorry, Pete, I've never been to South Devon. But if I get there, I'll try to get the Winking Prawn!

i along with my father run a pub sign business using traditional methods gold leaf hand painted pictorials all researched if heraldic why not visit my website www.heathadvertising.co.uk or www.pubsignsuk.co.uk we also specialise in murals

do you have a pub sign for the Live and Let Live? or any information about any pubs with this name please. please e-mail me back a.s.a.p thanks, anne

Can any one help me find a picture of two Pubs I painted the signs for,they are'The Alexanda'in Banet and the 'Cat and Fiddle' in Hertfordshire.Thank you for your time.

Very ineresting site - I like your photos, but there's no double-siders! In England sometimes you can find pub signs with different (but related) images on each side of the sign. I am a pub sign writer, and I've done a couple - check out http://www.eyebrightmurals.co.uk & look for Royal Oak and Dewdrop Inn signs!

I do miniatures and my current project is a miniature pub, I have just started working on my sign and these photo's really helped. Thanx for posting them. By the way, the name of my pub is Tail O'the Whale and I have a humpback whale tail on the sign.

One of my friends is getting married soon and I knwo he likes the Englsih pub signs. I therefore like to get one made for him with the picture of our motor bike club on it. Does anybody have an idea where I can get these made and how much they are? Thanks for you help - ciao Frank

Norman -- Very much enjoyed your collection of UK pub signs (and your cat photos!), which is an interest of mine also. You might like to take a look at my collection of pub signs featuring cats -- not yet quite complete but getting there -- which is part of a broader website about cats that you will find at www.purr-n-fur.org.uk

Kind regards,

Patrick Roberts Wrexham, North Wales, UK

do you have a five alls pub sign,very unusal name i know, my local is called the five alls, i understand where it comes from , an example of a sign would be good , a feel a quiz coming on in my local , hah ha

Hi, do you have any French Horn pub signs? French Horn in Gerrards Cross Bucks?

Thanks

I also collected a lot of pub signs and made a little booklet. Look at my homepage to see some of them: www.foeller.eu

what a great site, would you happen to know of a brewery/beer/pub by the name of Royal Sovereign? The Enamel sign also lists, "Splendid London Stout" and has a logo of St. George slaying the Dragon. Thanks

I'd really like to get in touch contact to ask for permission to make use of one of these photographs for an image I'm putting together. It's for a poster for a play for an amateur theatre, so it's sort of non-commercial (in that no one makes any money) but sort of commercial (in that people do pay to see the show, which funds future shows).

If Norman reads this: great pictures! Please may I have your permission?

Otherwise, to anyone else: do you know of a contact email address for Mr Walsh?

I do, and you may. I also sent you email to that effect.

Hi Norman......my site needs updating badly, but thought you'd like to know, and probabbly thanks to your site, I've now got signs in New York (again, Paris, Boston, two really good ones in Trinidad, a Saudi Arabia (private) one, and even requests from a scientific research station in Antartica!!!!

MANY THANKS www.pubsigndesign.com Graeme Robbins

I love pub signs and have made a page of my own. The address is above, I hope you all enjoy it. I also have a page of pubs which is at http://web.me.com/pattio57/jkp/pub_pix.html.

For those who want to know more about how pub signs were produced by the renowned studio Brewery Artists Ltd, check out the site I have recently put together. I used to work for the now defunct studio many years ago and have great memories of a superb job working with fine people producing quality inn signs. http://www.breweryartists.co.u

I have updated the Brewery Artists Inn Sign site with a poster of 25 pub signs available to buy - see http://www.breweryartists.co.uk/pages/buyaposter3.html
