Strange Pub Names

The Closed Shop and the North Pole. Not the mention the Bull & Mouth in Waingate. The name has nothing to do with livestock - it commemorates a naval victory at the "mouth" of a French harbour "Boulogne Mouth".

Always called it the Bull and Gob anyways lol;)

Their was a pub called Why Not supposedly named after a race horse the same applies to the Who Can Tell pub and the Cossack which was named after a Derby winner in the 1840s.

 

Are you sure it wasn't an Oaks winner that the Cossack was named after? Think about it lol;)

I'm going to build a time machine for you so can find out for us. Didn't the Hole in the Wall on Savile Street have a nickname something to do with vinager works. Another thing about the HITW pub when you look at photos of the building the left part doesn't match the right part , was the left part originally part of the old vinager works ( gateway) it always looked at strange building?

The one off Meadow Bank Road ? The name Green Bricks comes from the fact the wall under the window is made from green bricks I think.

'Hole in the Wall' was it's nickname, the proper name being 'The Wicker Brewery', (Tetley's) .No beer was brewed there, but as you say, was part of and old vinegar distillery.
