Photo taken by me - the Edwin Waugh inn sign, Heywood, Manchester
Preston, England
February 14, 2016 12:04pm CST
My second visit to my old friend in Heywood, Manchester since our re-union after two decades. I preceded meeting up with her by collecting some pub signs round Heywood and only a few there now elude me, but I’ll be nailing those on my next visit. The pleasant weather of the afternoon gave way to bitter cold by the evening. My friend was good to see as ever, and I met her dog and two cats too. Arthur Chappell

unlikely to ever get them all - there are thousands and some pubs have changed them for new ones since my photos were taken too

Do I remember you saying there are books on the pub signs of England? If not, you should do your own.
