The Woolpack, Haverhill Suffork

[Lady Grey]

I've just been looking at the latest photos to be approved on the front page of the main site, and I'm a little confused. There appears to be a photo of the pub sign for The Woolpack at Slad in Gloucestershire added to this pub. Check out The Woolpack at Slad, and you'll see what I mean.

Interesting one. It appears that the Woolpack in Haverhill (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/34945/) got a new sign and the design on it was exactly the same as the one in Slad (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/60260/).

You can see it in place on Google Street View (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Haverhill+CB9+9EF,+UK&ll=52.084593,0.436559&spn=0.000631,0.004128&cid=11421184237358898040&hnear=Haverhill+CB9+9EF,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.084593,0.436558&panoid=Hq9yh1o0HT5oJfPN6sKZzg&cbp=11,114.96,,0,-1.87)

Very well spotted!

Yes, intriguing. The Woolpack at Slad is the one near to Stroud so I reckon it's "their" sign. Note the stone mile marker that appears on both pubs' signs.

The Ship in Wandsworth (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/24659/)had a rather nice sign that turned up later at The Ship in Rotherhithe (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/23900/). But they are both Young's pubs, so I guess they wanted to cut down on pub sign design (that trips off the tongue!) costs.
