Sign for the Roaring Meg
This is the sign for the Roaring Meg on Pennine Way (for a view of the pub see Image and Image). It is interesting that the picture is of a wheeled cannon because the pub is supposed to have been named after Cromwell's Parliamentarian forces guns which were, in fact, mortars that had no wheels (see Image by Pauline Eccles). But the Cavalier regiment under the command of the Earl of Northampton did have a wheeled cannon that was also called the Roaring Meg, plus there was also a Roaring Meg cannon used in the Siege of Derry in 1689 (see Image by Eric Jones). See the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Meg_%28cannon%29 .

The Roaring Meg in summer
A similar view to Image but taken in very different weather conditions. The name is supposed to come from the big gun used by the Parliamentarian forces against Biddulph Hall. For a picture of the sign and further discussion on the name see Image
