Painted by A. J. Goody in 1987, this inn sign was captured on film in Shrewsbury three years later. The sign of the acorn has been popular throughout the years and, in particular, during the 19th century. It is possible that some 'new' publicans of the early days of the beerhouse chose this because they hoped to grow solid from a diminutive beginning. As David Everett once wrote "large streams from little fountains flow, tall oaks from little acorns grow."
