Pubs and Freemasons

[Drew Maloney]

Why do Olde English Pubs have Unusual Names?

In the 17th and 18th Century the Freemasons promoted and controlled British Pub Culture – why?

They named alot of the pubs after star constellations?

e.g
Red Lion – Leo
Bull’s Head – Taurus
Golden Fleece – Aries
The Goat Inn – Capricorn
The Bear, The Plough – Ursa Major
The Golden Swan – Cygnus
The Green Dragon – Draco
The Greyhound – Canis Major
Fox and Goose – Vulpecula and Anser
The Punchbowl – Crater
The Flying Horse - Pegasus
The Angel – Virgo
The Ship – Argo Navis
Robin Hood – Sagittarius (the Archer)
Eagle and Child – Aquila and Antinous

What was the reasoning behind this?

The answer may be stranger than you could ever imagine…….
