Castle is a common name for a pub but normally it refers to a nearby fortification, in this case there seems to be no record of Congleton ever having one. This makes me wonder if, perhaps, it was named after the motte and bailey about three miles away in Bailey's Wood (Image). For a close-up of the sign see Image
