ElTesha Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) her's a question... I live in Stafford and there are two ex pubs (one's closed and the other is a curry house) that each have a moulded plaster sculpture on the pubs uprights (between the windows). It is circular, about a foot in diameter with an eagle and in its upraised claw there is a bunch of grapes or maybe a 'hop'. In Wolverhampton a similar design exists on a pub (about half way between fallings wood and Heath Town - on the junction of the A460). The pub is called the Golden Lion (I think, it's a Gold something) This is one moulding, much bigger and this time it is a 'hop'. Connected ? Does anyone recognise a long lost brewery logo ? Not sure if this has already been solved but the Eagle and Hop was the emblem of William Butlers of Springfield Brewery Wolvrhampton (remember "Springfield Bitter" from M&B ) according to the Brewery History archive: http://www.breweryhistory.com/Defunct/Pics/WMOxleyMoor.htm Terry Edited January 11, 2014 by ElTesha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
