Description
The Dukes Head Addlestone - Richard Reeve
What a small world we live in! The Duke's Head was a pub in the village of Addleston, Surrey. It was built on the crossroads of what would become Station Road and Brighton Road in 1815 by John Drewett of Chertsey. Like many English pubs it fell to the recession and pub closures of the 90's onwards and was demolished around 1999. All that remains is a bus stop called "The Dukes Head coach stop" and this pub sign from the defunct Friary Meux brewery which hangs in The Bulls Head Public House in Litiz, Pennsylvania about 3,500 miles away!

I'm glad someone rescued the sign and it's being preserved. I wonder what the duke would have made of his new home. Funny thought. Wonderful find and shot Richard. l/f!
Richard Reeve replied:
Yes, it took a bit of research to find out the history of the pub as it's no longer there, like so many :-(
