Buildings on Long Bridge Street, Llanidloes
Enough to make you stare in astonishment. A delightful pair of buildings wrecked by the shop front on the left. Not surprisingly, they aren't listed.

Welcome, with a smile :)
I know this has been captured for Geograph before, but it's worth seeing again. This time we get the full glare, eyeball to eyeball, whilst keeping at a safe distance....

Sign for the Queens Head, Llanidloes
A sign that gained popularity because of the beloved Queen Elizabeth I but it appeared before her day. In fact, it probably referred to Mary, Queen of Heaven. Queen Elizabeth I had a strong and direct influence on pubs and pub signs, as she was the first monarch to travel throughout the realm. She was angry with the way she was depicted on pub signs. She didn't mind being on the signs, but was unhappy with the poor likeness of herself. She issued one approved painting which had to be copied faithfully.

Sign for the Unicorn Hotel, Llanidloes
The unicorn came to pub signs after being on other signs as it was often used by chemists and goldsmiths and there are numerous mentions of this fabled animal in the Old Testament. Because a unicorn could only be captured by a beautiful young virgin early Christians chose him to represent Christ, born of the Virgin Mary. It was believed that dipping the horn of a unicorn in liquid would determine whether it contained any poison and powdered horn was considered to be an aphrodisiac. These beliefs led to the unicorn being a sign for an apothecary. The unicorn appears on the arms of the Goldsmiths, Wax Chandlers and Apothecaries Companies and it is also on the royal badge of Scotland. The arms of James I had two unicorns.
