The pub's sign hangs on the side of the building, opposite to Westfield Common. An unusual design, it appears to show the batsman being hit in the eye by the ball, while in turn his bat is hitting the player behind him! If this currently closed pub doesn't reopen, this amusing sign is in danger of disappearing, and another snippet of local history will be gone. Image Image Image
