Other subjects that lent themselves to visual depiction included the name of battles (e.g. Trafalgar), explorers, local notables, discoveries, sporting heroes and members of the royal family. Some pub signs are in the form of a pictorial pun or rebus. For example, a pub in Crowborough, East Sussex called The Crow and Gate has an image of a crow with gates as wings.
What was an example of a battle that might lend itself to a pub name? What town is The Crow and Gate located in? What county is home to The Crow and Gate? Members of what family were sometimes used as pub names?
