Old Swan Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/53681/)

Quite widely known as Ma Pardoes. Probably worth adding it in brackets after the Swan Inn bit.

Probably worth them putting it on their sign then. We are not looking to put every single name a pub has ever been known by in brackets after its name, so can we knock this idea on the head quickly.

Fair enough but in this case I think you're missing a trick.


EDIT I see I've already covered this ground already on a previous post. I'll get me coat.

As an aside, Martha's in Portsmouth (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/60866/) was the Suffolk Arms until 1948 but changed to Martha's because everyone knew it as that, due to former licencee Martha Kingsbury (d. 1914)

Now just a part of soon to be lost history, once housed a brothel during the 1930s closed last month & due for demolition as part of Northern Quarter "improvements"
