The Turf Hotel - Richmond, UK - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

"Richmond Racecourse was a British horse racing track situated at Richmond, North Yorkshire at first High Moor, then Low Moor, from 1765 to 1776. It was last used for horse racing in 1891. The grandstand, believed to have been designed by John Carr, is now the oldest surviving stone-built public grandstand in the world."link

The word 'Turf' is often used as a short hand way to refer to a horse racecourse. The pub and hotel was built in the 18th Century and would have existed during the lifetime of the race course. Although the race course is no longer used 'The Turf Hotel' is an appropriate name especially as the grand stand still exists, although in a more derelict state than the picture suggests.
