On the corner of Beda Rd and the major road Lansdowne Rd. Road and pub are presumably named after the Marquess of Lansdowne, a prominent politician of the late C19th and early C20th. At the time the pub was built, 1898, he was Secretary of State for War, having previously been Governor General of Canada, then Viceroy of India. What the significance of the beehive/skep sign is, I don't know.
