The sign is oval in shape with the long dimension being top to bottom. The
name of the pub "The Green Man" is around the top edge of the oval and "1
Poultry" at the bottom. The centre of the oval has been removed and a
revolving picture of the head of a green man has been inserted. The head rotates
freely on a vertical access even in the lightest breeze.
The City Pubs
website tells us:
The name Green Man comes from the pub that once stood
at this location prior to the construction of Number 1 Poultry. It stood at
the corner of Bucklersbury and Pancras Lane. The house had been licensed for
over 200 years, and at one time part of the bar was used as a book shop,
which on closing at six o'clock was partitioned off with a gate, there being
two licences issued for the inn at one time.
