Spread Eagle, Little Bardfield circa 1955
Kindly provided by David Twitchett (copyright)
During WW2 there was a broadcast to USA "From an English Country Pub" I assumed that the place was patronised by American Service personnel. There used to be press cuttings of the event in the bar when I visited around 1955. I would hazard a guess that the carved sign was aquired from the Yanks.Does it look like the USA eagle? The painted sign then shewed an Osprey!!! ***
