The former Bull, Needham Market, Suffolk [52.154924, 1.050743]
Built around 1500, possibly as a guildhall, the former Bull pub closed in 1985. Prior to 1783 (see next post www.flickr.com/photos/innpictime/27530214192/in/dateposte... ) it had been known as the Compasses and before 1770 as the White Horse. Its use as a pub dates back at least to 1544 and it has a corner post carved in the form of an angel.
Grade II Listing Text:-
"NEEDHAM MARKET BRIDGE STREET
TM 0855
3/49 The Bull Inn, (including No.86 High Street)
9.12.55
Public House, built early C16 as a high-quality town house. 3-cell cross-passage entrance plan, with two integral shops. 2storeys. Timber-framed and roughcast; the upper floor is long-wall jettied towards both Bridge Street and High Street. Plain tiled roofs with axial chimneys of red brick, and C19 ornamental bargeboards. Various C18/ early C19 windows, some with wrought-iron casements. C19 boarded entrance doors (the doorway to No.86 High Street has 2 fielded panels). Exposed framing outside the building is confined to joists and brackets supporting a moulded bressumer, and a richly-carved corner post. This is weathered but has traceried panels at the base, an embattled frieze, a winged human or angel figure, an embattled capital and a traceried spreading head. Blocked original openings all with 4-centred arches (some damaged), include:- both cross-passage doorways, a shop doorway adjacent to the front door, a pair of wide shop windows, and a further doorway and window in a formerly separate shop room. In the hall the upper half of the original main window remains, with chamfered square mullions, each light having little arched spandrels. High quality close-studding with arch- and tension-bracing. The large hall fireplace and that in the chamber above have cambered lintels. Wainscotted cross-passage screen perhaps of later C16. Roll-moulded 1st floor joists in hall and parlour cells, the main beams also embattled. An original door now in the service end is unusual in having linenfold enriched planking. Over the parlour chamber is a crownpost roof, with plain square post at the open truss, 2-way braced; there are traces of original red paint. A cell positioned to right of the entrance from the High Street is apparently earlier, with moulded 1st floor members and a coupled-rafter roof."

This suspended, double-sided unit for Chicago's Big City Dental is comprised of two mirror image signs laminated back to back. Between are two square tubular steel verticals and three horizontal pieces welded together to form the support system. Protruding ends were then bolted to the inside corner of the building. Sign measures 5' x 4.5' and is routed high density urethane (HDU). www.customoutdoorwoodensigns.com
The former Sun pub at 71 St. Owen Street, Hereford.
CAMRA's 1994 Good Beer Guide described this now-closed pub as a
"City pub delightfully caught in a time warp - how Hereford's pubs used to be. Three bars: the back bar was the last in Hereford to have table service (until 1992). Simple front bar with benches, TV, locals and a superb pewter bar, on which sit wooden cider barrels."
Still extant are the sign bracket and the pub's 'West Country Ales - Best in the West' plaque. That brewery and its pubs were taken over by Whitbread (now the owner of brands such as Premier Inn, Costa, Beefeater, Brewers Fayre and Table Table etc.) in 1963.
It's a shame not to have got there before 'closing time'.

The Oliver Cromwell pub, St. Ives, Cambridgeshire [52.322176, -0.073227]
The pub opened sometime in the 1840s as the Feathers. For some years it had its own small brewery and by the 1870s it had been renamed. It seems the landlord was something of a republican. Until 1891 it was merely a beerhouse but it then took over the wine & spirit licence from the Ship up the road on Quayside. The ornate sign bracket also originated at the Ship. The building itself is older than its usage as a pub being of the C18.
