The sign is strikingly simple with three ears of barley at each corner, a pony on a bridge with bulrushes. The barley must relate to the agricultural heritage for I find no maltsters or breweries. The pony which stands on a less noticeable Brantham or Cattawade Bridge over Stutton Brook https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/748596 must relate to the Brantham Cup, keenly competed for within the Pony club. As with all the information I am delighted to be corrected if I’m wrong.
