Thread Name: Folklore: Odd pub names
Subject: RE: Folklore: Odd pub names
There's a pub in Rutland, just off the A1, called The Jackson Stops. Originally it was called soemthing else but was put up for sale and took so long to sell that people began to use the name of the estate agent (Jackson Stops) on the board outside, as the pub name and it stuck. Wonder how many other pubs are called after an estate agent.

Just down the road, on the other side, is the famous Ram Jam Inn - I expect everyone knows the story of that name so won't go ionto it here.
