Sign for the Rose and Crown
With the marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York ended the battling between the houses of York and Lancaster, the Tudor Rose, half red and half white, surmounted by a crown became the royal badge. This Rose and Crown let to its popularity as a pub sign. Today it is seen in all sorts of pictorials, not necessarily true to the Tudor Rose.

A6 and the Rose and Crown, Low Hesket
The Rose and Crown is a mid 18th century pub which was "nationalised" by the State Management Scheme on 25 August 1916 and The Carlisle Kid tells us it sold back into private ownership in 1973 for £8,750 with his photo https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5382136. In 2006 planning approved the erection of single storey side/rear extension to form dining room. CAMRA described this pub as "One of the few roadside inns to survive the M6 taking traffic away", unfortunately this appears to be no longer the case. A search of my directories produced; 1828 John Crackhall; 1829 only Carrier's Cart and Horse & Jockey listed; 1847 only Queens Head and Horse & Jockey listed; 1858 John Beaumont; 1894-1897 Isaac Armstrong (stone mason by 1901); 1901 Thomas Henderson; 1906 William Howe; 1910-1914 Mrs Esther Pattinson.
