Some signs in this town rarely get updated - This one in nearly twenty years or at least since 2009. Some wit scratching something not funny on the bottom

The corner of a building with a corner door bricked up and whitewashed. A very worn sign says Riverside, and features a picture of Penworthham Old Bridge crossing the River Ribble.

![Bar sign hanging from the wall of Kentigern’s bar, features a stylised bird (robin), a fish with a ring in its mouth, a tree and a bell. Kentigern, known as Mungo, was a missionary in the Brittonic Kingdom of Strathclyde in the late sixth century, and the founder and patron saint of the City of Glasgow.
Born: 518 AD Culross
Died 13 January 614 (aged 95–96)
Glasgow, Kingdom of Strathclyde
“Here is the bird that never flew
Here is the tree that never grew
Here is the bell that never rang
Here is the fish that never swam”
The verses refer to the following:
The Bird: Mungo restored life to a robin that had been killed by some of his classmates.[6]
The Tree: Mungo had been left in charge of a fire in Saint Serf's monastery. He fell asleep and the fire went out. Taking a hazel branch, he restarted the fire.[10]
The Bell: the bell is thought to have been brought by Mungo from Rome. It was said to have been used in services and to mourn the dead. The original bell no longer exists, and a replacement, created in the 1640s, is now on display in Glasgow.
The Fish: refers to the story about Queen Languoreth of Strathclyde who was suspected of infidelity by her husband. King Riderch demanded to see her ring, which he claimed she had given to her lover. In reality the King had thrown it into the River Clyde. Faced with execution she appealed for help to Mungo, who ordered a messenger to catch a fish in the river. On opening the fish, the ring was miraculously found inside, which allowed the Queen to clear her name. (This story may be confused with an almost identical one concerning King Maelgwn of Gwynedd and Saint Asaph.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v7ztxbj5lufxoczxglcrdoke/bafkreiaptabs5abdst5c4qvpqfhqjlak3lt6dakwl57fo2xcbcxg5j6xra)

The sign for The Aragon in the West End of Glasgow. Despite the appearance of this sign, it only opened in 1970, making it one of the newer pubs on Byres Road. Before that, it was a Butcher's Shop.

Cafe René Gloucester. I did the pub signs eight years ago. They’re a wee bit tattier now but not bad after eight years.

The carved wooden sign outside the Bon Accord on North Street in Glasgow. Opening in 1971, it was one of the first real ale pubs in Glasgow and it remains so to this day. I'm not too sure when the sign dates from, but it's not present in a photo taken in 1991.

Pub sign from Southport with metal framework and an old train and the words “Cheshire Lines”
Thank you for drawing attention to #IronworkThursday and all these other great hashtags! Here’s a bonus #metalwork #PubSign as a thank you!
I take the occasional #photograph too. These from in #Pembroke town. The oldest #postbox I've seen. It must date from the #pennyblack era. It's for #postcards too, so I guess it was a tourist town even then. & I always like a good #pubsign
