Shownotes Transcript

The pub is well entrenched in the cultural life of Britain. As a hub of social contact and often a provider of decent food, pubs offer a central meeting point for many groups of people. Yet how often do we think about pub names and what they tell us about local history, famous figures, or half-forgotten stories?

There are far more strange pub names than I can include here, but I've tried to choose ones that had interesting stories associated with them.

Let's find out more about the folklore and legends attached to a selection of strange pub names in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
