| book description |

Have you ever wondered why almost every town has a Queens Head, or how the Thirsty Kipper came by its unusual name? This guide explains the origin, meaning, history and associations of over 10,000 UK pub names. As well as The Royal Oak and Red Lion, there is information on such unusual names as the Five Miles from Anywhere, No Hurry and The Swinging Sporran, and on pub puns like the Dew Drop Inn, the Inn Between, and the Stagger Inn. Complete with location details of some of the more intriguing names, this book should interest the pub-goer and local historian alike.
