This pub has managed to retain this West Country Ales plaque, and this example is in excellent condition. The ceramic plaque is affixed to the pub's front wall. These plaques were first used by the Gloucestershire brewers, West Country Breweries, who were an amalgamation of others, two of whom commenced brewing in 1760. The plaques were placed by West Country Breweries on their pubs between 1958 and 1963, when Whitbreads took them over. Whitbreads continued to use the castle logo and to install these plaques for a few years after the takeover, until about 1967. There are still quite a few around, with some variation of colour, and in two sizes. Image Image
