soundgeek Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 If my memory serves me right (ok it only has lucid moments) the Tap and Barrel on the corner of Castlegate and Waingate used to be called something else? Can anyone remind me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafydd Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It went from Bull and Mouth to Boulogne Mouth, to Tap and Spile. Rumour has it that it was originally Bouolgne Mouth after some military engagement but nobody could pronounce it, so it became Bull and Mouth, then somebody tried (unseuccessfully) to revert.

dafydd Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Glad to be of help. being a right anorak about boozer names and signs, I've even bored the world to death with a couple of books (photographic) with Sheffield and Derbys pub signs, called "Ale & Arty". How sad is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
