Unfortunately the sign is faded and some of the paint has peeled, so it is difficult to interpret it. There is definitely a horse on the left and it would seem it is harnessed to some mechanism which turns the mill stones. Possibly the other side of the sign is better, but the heavy shadows cast by the sun on that side made it difficult to see or photograph. The pub has another sign over its door fronting Burcot Lane, but it is of a different design. Image Image Image
