Castle Inn - Bakewell, UK - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

The castle was a motte and bailey castle built in the 12th century. It was razed to the ground, as a consequence of the English Civil War, and now only the earthworks remain. Hence the sign only shows a hill rather than a castle.

The bridge, a well known sight in Bakewell is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Historic England Grade I Listed Building. "Bridge. c1300, widened C19. Ashlar sandstone. 5 pointed arches with ribbed soffits; triangular cutwaters rise as pedestrian retreats; band beneath parapet. Cross base on apex of downstream cutwater to west of central arch. Upstream side rebuilt C19 in same style. Approach walls continue from the parapet towards the town. Scheduled Ancient Monument, Derbyshire County Number 16. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Derbyshire: Harmondsworth: 1986-: 75)." link
