See Image At first glance, why should a picture of a former Great Central Railway steam locomotive be shown on a pub here, albeit one situated by a station, but a station very much in Southern territory? Further investigation shows that 62662, a D11 "Improved Director" class locomotive, built in March 1920 and originally numbered 505, was named "Prince of Wales". So the pub sign is not totally irrelevant, even if geographically flawed.
