Bridlington, October, 1827.
ANOTHER ODD SIGN.[508]
At Wold Newton, near Bridlington, there is a public-house with the sign of a crooked billet, and the following lines on an angular board:—
First side
When this comical stick grew in the wood
Our Ale was fresh and very good,
Step in and taste, O do make haste,
For if you don’t ’twill surely waste.
Second side.
When you have view’d the other side,
Come read this too before you ride;
And now to end we’ll let it pass,
Step in, kind friends, and take a GLASS.
Bridlington. T. C.
