The idea of the pub sign came to us at the time of the Roman Invasion in AD43 and they’ve been charting our history ever since. Few pubs were named by accident and have been inspired by royalty, religion, lust, war, ambition, heroes and the odd villain. Between them they tell quite a story. Many pubs took their name from the prevalent trade in the area so there would probably have been a lot of cloth workers or tailors around the Hand & Shears that you mentioned. Strangely, although women worked in many trades, it was always a man’s hand that appeared on the signs – a woman’s hand was a covert sign for a house of ill-repute! The more you delve into the subject, the more fascinating it becomes.
