Sign for the Castle Inn

This is the sign for Image, located on the way out of Congleton towards Biddulph. Castle is a common name for pubs and it would normally indicate a nearby fortification although in this case there are no records of Congleton ever having a castle of its own. The nearest would possibly be the motte and bailey in Bailey's Wood about three miles away (Image) near Biddulph. The rather stylised castle design is actually very reminiscent of Glastonbury Tor in Somerset!
