The Arts Society Haslemere invites you to a talk presented by ohn Ericson.

The talk is entitled INN SIGNIA: PUB SIGNS, THE ARTWORK and the STORIES BEHIND THEIR NAMES

"There is nothing which has been yet contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn."  Samuel Johnson

Pubs and their signs are a fundamental part of our history and cultural heritage.

There are some 17,000 different pub names but why are there so many pubs called the ‘Red Lion’, the ‘Crown’ or ‘White Hart’? Come to this lecture to find the answer.

Arrive at 1.45pm for 2pm start.
