And then there's the "Antigallican" in Charlton, London SE - a reference to anti-French sentiment during the Revolution and after. There's supposed to be another "Antigalican" in Plaistow or thereabouts, but I've not seen it, nor have I come across the name elsewhere.

There is (was) a pub in Holland-on-sea, Clacton, called the "Roaring Donkey" which name always intrigued me.
