Eric R. Delderfield presents the fascinating stories and heraldic symbolism behind some of Britain's most iconic and curious inn signs, tracing their origins through centuries of history, folklore, and social change. The book details how these colourful signs evolved from purely practical identifiers into beloved pieces of folk art, each carrying its own unique narrative rooted in local legend, royal patronage, or trade history. Written with warmth and an eye for telling detail, it is an engrossing read for anyone interested in British heritage, pub culture, or the art of the street sign.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887970496731,"sku":"2026200009566-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bc55ece6-c862-403c-a0d0-c7987254b4f9.png?v=1781751403","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009566-secondhand-british-inn-signs-and-their-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
