This pub sign depicts the Marquis of Granby in gold relief as a balding man...perhaps in his late fifties.
A plaque at the site reads:

"MARQUIS OF
GRANBY

JOHN MANNERS,
THE MARQUIS OF GRANBY (1721-1770),
WAS A BRILLIANT MILITARY COMMANDER,
FOLLOWING THE SEVEN YEARS WAR, HE SET UP
MANY OF HIS MEN AS INNKEEPERS, MAKING
HIS TITLE A POPULAR PUB NAME.
THE MARQUIS OF GRANBY, ROMNEY STREET
IS ON THE WESTMINSTER SIDE OF
LAMBETH BRIDGE, 'LAMBETH' COMING FROM
THE LATIN WORD FOR MUDDY LANDING PLACE.
AT ONE TIME, THERE WAS A HORSE FERRY
ACROSS THE THAMES HERE AND THEN A
19TH-CENTURY SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
THE PRESENT BRIDGE DATES
FROM 1932."
