"Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronte, KB (29 September 1758 – 21 October 1805), was a British flag officer in the Royal Navy. His inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics brought about a number of decisive British naval victories during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest naval commanders in history." link

Because he was regarded by the UK population as a great hero, The Lord Nelson or variations on the name became one of the most popular pub names after his death in 1805.

The pub sign seems to be the painting by Lemuel Francis Abbott as shown on the above Wikipedia web page.
