Pub Sign of the Year 2012
The sign pays tribute to the late Syd James, star of 19 'Carry-on' movies, which were made at Pinewood Studios located nearby.

I know this is a bit off topic but I recently passed though a Shropshire village called Knockin and was delighted to see that after some 20 years the village shop was still there and was also still proudly displaying a sign showing itself to be "The Knockin Shop".
One of the runners up is on PUG, with pics including sign one side [by me] & reviews by me, and fittingly, pub sign man

It's that time of the year again:
Pub sign of the year 2013 goes to the Rifleman in Twickenham. You can view the sign here: http://www.innsignsociety.com/year_f...2013)-1104.jpg
The Rifleman
In perhaps the most gripping moment in pub-sign related history (), it was a dead heat this year, with the Rifleman winning on count back. Personally I prefer the 'runner- up': http://www.innsignsociety.com/year_f...2013)-1079.jpg
Pub sign of the Year 2014 has been awarded to the Milk Churn in Melksham. The pub only opened in July and hasn't even made it onto PuG yet! You can see the winning sign here:

The Milk Churn was added by me the other day and is awaiting approval and needs a picture adding which I might get on Saturday.
