Why do they change the names of pubs

This pub the Lamb was always the Barley Mow the street its on is named after it..the building behind is where I had my first job as an graphic artist in the Litho print..worked on the second floor..50s..Chiswick lunch in the pub better than Harry's at the other end of the building..

They say that changing the name of a ship is bad luck; maybe this doesn`t apply to buildings.

We have a pub fairly locally, and for many many years it was called the "Cannards Grave Inn" - named after Tom Cannard who I believe was the last person to be hung for sheep stealing in Britain.

They changed it's name to the "Cannards Well Inn" a few years back, aparrently the owners of the place decided having "Grave" in the name of the pub was putting off people visiting.

Would not put me off, but perhaps I am not taht picky.

Who needs a signature anyway......

The Acorn in Exeter has always been known as the Gaycorn to the punters.

The Woke brigade took offence to The Black Bitch in Linlithgow. It was named after a 13th-century legend about a black greyhound who brought food to her starving master and which features on the town crest

Its now The Willow Tree

The history we are allowing some folk to take from us is criminal. The above tale proves they just like the protest and can't be bothered to research the reason such things exist.

Re: Why?

<<<The history we are allowing some folk to take from us is criminal.>>>

Indeed so, Den.

The 'Friars Oak' near me was named after a fallen tree seat in the grounds of a medieval monastery, now an 'Executive starter homes' housing development. Six years ago it was renamed 'The Pilgrim Goose' when taken over by one of the big chains About 2 years later it was changed back to the Friar's Oak following pressure from the local community.

From my local paper:

Traditional pubs across Sussex have been given new names by brewers in a bid to draw in different crowds.

The Volunteer pub in Church Street, Brighton, which took its name from a nearby infantry barracks, was renamed the Mash Tun in 1996.

The George Beard in Gloucester Road, Brighton, was originally called The Eagle after a nearby iron foundry.

In Dec 2000 a Bill was put before Parliament that required local planning authority approval to change a pub name and would enable the local community to have its say before the name could be changed.

Dave you must have pretty damn low standards if you think a place with photographs of food outside constitutes a posh eatery!

Re: Why?

Will the trend today seems if you can't stuff your face your nobody Every channel on TV has at least two food programs a day most of the city of Exeter has only eateries and so called posh food there are virtually no decent shops and pubs can't survive without food ..I know I live in the past thats how I liked it and no I don't do pubs now not the price they ask...the theme is the good old pubs have changed ther names or use

The corner bar in my little "burg" (population 470) was named "Ruth's" when Ruth owned it. Now it's "Liz's" since she bought it. Grrrr

Lock him up!
