The writing on the side wall of the Clarence on Talbot Road is long-standing but the sign is relatively new. It wasn't there in 2010 when the pub was closed and looking for a new landlord. Unlike other pubs in the area it found one and is still open.
I don't know for sure but it seems possible that the Clarence referred to is the Duke who became King William IV after whom the pub across the road is named - see my post of two weeks ago.
See the pub itself on Hyde DP Xtra.
A contribution to signs, signs.
I bet its a beautiful pub and Hotel.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the pub staying open!

ReplyDeleteMuch success for its future.
ReplyDeleteA very striking and easy to read sign.
ReplyDeletethey have made it look like it has been there forever.
ReplyDeletethough I wonder about that period?
Nice signage...and the picture is so cool. Love the perspective. The white against the blue sky is beautiful. I would like to be sitting in a pub right now :-) genie
