The reason for the picture may not be immediately obvious but the area around Wakefield was traditionally a coal mining area.
So the two miners are working hard digging out coal - the black rock of the sign.
The pub dates from 1842 and has retained its original features including a tiled entrance despite being flanked by modern buildings.
Date of first pub on site: 1842
