"This Wetherspoon pub is the former Tower Bridge Hotel, and takes its name from the area's centuries-old connection with the leather trade. The earliest record of the word pommeler (one who pummels) was in c1450 and became associated with leather workers." From http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-pommelers-rest
