    Default Castle Donington pub

    It's called the Jolly Potters now but was it always that?



    The top line ends in RS so that could have been POTTERS but what about the JOLLY? Was it simply The Potters Inn or similar?

    The bottom row ends in an N - I'm playing with it in Photoshop to see if I can get any more out!

    Have found this http://www.nwleics.gov.uk/files/docu...nd%20Study.pdf
    If you go to page 19, plate 15 (page 27 of the wholw document) you will see the pub. "No. 29 Hillside was formerly the Black Horse Public House"
