The Gate Hangs Well pub sign, 1 High Park Avenue, Wollaston
Wollaston formerly a village but now, more or less, part of the town of Stourbridge is very well off for public houses. This is the sign of The Gate Hangs Well which states it is an Enterprise Inns Free House.
The name is common in the Midlands, and sometimes found as The Hanging Gate and The Gate Hangs High. It is thought to be connected to a pub's proximity to a church gate, toll gate or town gate, so perhaps there was a toll gate around here in the past. The sign in rural areas is sometimes a miniature five barred gate. In this case, it looks like the portcullis to a castle rather than a conventional gate. On some signs there is also a verse, usually "The gate hangs well, and hinders none. Refresh and pay, and travel on". Originally the none was non and presumably the old pronuciation meant it rhymed with on.
