The Kings Arms (2) - sign, 39 Wallingford Street, Wantage

An interesting example of a surviving Morland's Brewery sign. Morland were based in Abingdon and were taken over and closed by the Suffolk brewers Greene King in 2000. Morland had a lot of pubs in Wantage but it may be that this one wasn't transferred, as Greene King normally replace old signs with their own.

Royal names for pubs have always been popular as they demonstrated loyalty (genuine or not) to authority, and especially after the restoration of the monarchy in the 17th century.
