Just seen Pete Crosby's review of the St Annes Castle in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, which mentions that the pub won the Inn Sign Society's Pub Sign of the Year award for 2011.

You can see the sign here:

I love the fact that you can see great pieces of art like this in High street's up and down the country - even if this one isn't really my cup of tea.
