Britain has a long and rich tradition in the signs you see outside inns and pubs.These represent an invaluable record of historical...
events and the people who took part in them. The reason for this is that there are signs representing almost everything and everyone, from wars to inventions, from sporting heroes to kings and queens. The use of pub and inn signs started with the Romans. In those days, these commercial establishments (or ‘Tabernae' as they were known) would hang vine leaves outside to indicate that they sold wine.
