The pub name recalls a horse-drawn tram that ran locally until 1932. The enterprise rejoiced in the title of the Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Light Railway. 'Manhood', the name of the ancient 'hundred' (a sub-division of a county) is a corruption of the Old English words meaning 'common wood'. But, the image looks more like Thomas the Tank Engine to me.
