SOTM  - February / March 2025
Another superb selection of signs from Jackie Wylde

Pictured is Bull & Royal, Longridge, Lancashire.

Apologies, I've not updated SOTM. Things have caught up on me with moving house and arranging PSOTY. Will resume SOTM at the end of March.

LOST Pub Signs

1st March 2025
LOST Pub Signs
In the Members' Area there are 'Lost Signs' from old scanned collections.
If any of you 'sign detectives' know the proper name, location and perhaps date of any sign, just email the page manager. There are some very good ones that need a place in the Archives!

** 'Royal' ** for March 2025.
These are from scanned prints of photos taken in the 1970-1990's.
A journey back in time to see some really elaborate signs that are sadly missing from the pub scene today.

** Non-member public visitors are now able to view a Lost Signs page to help the Society in our search.
**Click on LS photo link on right** to see all signs and comments.
