The sign is surmounted by a boot with an eel which relates to the public house “The Eel’s Foot”. Within the circular silhouette style sign the sun shines over the marshes with the Eastbridge windpump on the horizon. Built in the mid-19th century, this was one of four smock windpumps, which drained Minsmere Level. After it collapsed in 1977, it was removed and rebuilt at the Museum of East Anglian Life at Stowmarket. In the foreground is the Twopenny Arch. Below the name, a revenue man is in pursuit of a moonshiner. Apparently an occurrence not uncommon in days of yore.
