    Posted by Steve Broughton on February 3, 2003 at 3:40 pm

    This is part of large job for this pub, 12 signs various sizes, put this and another just like it up today, scrambling over lots of roof tops hanging off bits of masonary with 1 drill, 1 screwdriver, various bits n bobs and hold sign and fit, need more arms 🙂

    The rest are a lot easier to fit 😉 This was approx 8ft x 3 ft usual painted board, medite letters, (but these were done on a router) then gilded, silly bloody owl is the logo for the company that owns the pub, also they wanted the 2 poachers with guns on facing inwards but that looked like they were shooting the flippin owl. 😆

    Sorry pic is a bit out of focus as I took it without flash so as not to get reflection, David Bailey I’m not 😎

    Great work as usual Steve, you seem to do quite a lot of these traditional pub signs. Is that because your name has got about for this sort of work ?

    Great Job as ever steve, that owl looks a bit scared, just imagine what it would look like if the guys with guns were facing the other way, lol

    Great looking sign Steve. Do you hang around pubs a lot then “looking for sales”…I’ll have to try out that one myself.
