Thread Name: BS: Pub Names
Subject: RE: BS: Pub Names
Another pub I used to frequent was called the 'Horse and Panniers'nicknamed by the locals as 'Whores and Fannies'. Looking back, I seem to have spent a lot of time in pubs many with odd nicknames!!

Irthlingborough (Northants) has the 'Sow & Pigs'. One side of the sign shows a sow with piglets and the other an old method of making cast iron ingots with a main channel (sow) and side channels (pigs), a reference to former local ironworks.
