double sided pub signs

The Royal Oak, West Sussex  - a pub sign with two different images

This is a very special eyebright pub sign, and joins a diminishing few to be found across the UK. The double sided inn sign has been popular in Britain up until the stripping out and selling off of our traditional pubs to create the chrome and glass lagering-holes that are rapidly taking over the country. The corporate pub chains will often not even change their image and font from pub to pub, let alone from one side of the same pub sign to the other! Certain names (such as 'Fox and Hounds') lend themselves to a double sider. It costs more as there are two different images, and is not for everyone, but you can be sure to be the pride of the county with a double sided eyebright pub sign.
The darker side of this unique sign depicts the HMS Royal Oak in thunderous weather on a boiling sea The lighter side of this unique sign depicts the HMS Royal Oak on a glassy clear blue ocean
