Red Bull, Congleton Road South,Church Lawton. - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

A Canal side pub with a large beer garden by the side of Lock 43 on the Trent and Mersey canal.

The bull has always been a popular and readily recognisable symbol as a working animal and, in less enlightened times, as an animal of sport. It is linked with drovers’ roads indicating places for them to stop the night with their herds.
Some pubs with bull in their name also stem from a religious source because bull also comes from bulla, an ecclesiastical seal used by papist Rome, which Henry VIII took for his own use.


On an extract of William Yates 1775 Map of Staffordshire it shows the area marked "Red Bull" which is over the border in Cheshire.It also shows the major road running from Tunstall to Red Bull which was the 1762 turnpike road - now the A50.
