Old tavern signs in London, 1890. '...signs recently added to the Guildhall Museum. The Library Committee of the City Corporation have recently added to the antiquarian collection at the Guildhall Museum a few interesting specimens of old signs of London inns or taverns. These are of carved stone, and may have been set up within a few years of the Great Fire. The first is that of the "Bell," in Knightrider-street, which bears the date 1668; the second, termed the "Pill," dated 1669, was removed from Messrs. Sutton's warehouse, behind Bow Church, lately pulled down; the third, representing a female head, came from a house in Paternoster Row ; it bears the date 1671. All three are in a good state of preservation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
