I like the posh pots, not so keen on the ugly mugs, they did make them really ugly in those days, were gargoyles supposed to ward off evil spirits? What a lovely sign on the pub, and it probably meant something in those days. You have inspired me to get out and about more, I'm sure there is a lot of history around my neck of the woods.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-32863144964772086692015-03-02T09:49:35.769+00:002015-03-02T09:49:35.769+00:00What a lovely post.

They look like patterned socks that one could wear with a dull outfit to dress it up. Good balancing exercise scrapping your boots on the vertical boot scrapper. Lovely carving on the bank sign.
