The only pub I know of with a name that celebrates an old 'British bike'. Maybe somewhere there's a 'Matchless', or an 'Ariel Square Four', or a 'Black Shadow'. But - to return to the photograph: beyond the pub the road narrows - crossing a bridge over an old railway cutting. The railway has long since gone, closed even before the Beeching era. I suppose the village chose to keep the narrow bridge to slow down the traffic. Here's the pub sign: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4995711
