Test your knowledge of Nottingham pubs in our signs quiz

Nottinghamshire is home to some fantastic pubs. Whether it be one packed full of TVs so you never miss a moment of the action or one with a beer garden offering the best views, we are certainly not short of quality boozers.

Another thing pubs are known for is their signs. There is some fantastic artwork on show across the county and pub signs depicting animals, royalty, professions and sport have been part of Nottinghamshire's history for centuries and were once a legal requirement.

We've picked a selection of signs from some of Nottingham's city centre's best-known pubs - and a few from further afield with very distinctive signs. But we have removed the names to test your knowledge.

You might have had a drink in them - but can you identify them from these images alone? With National Beer Day falling on June 15, we thought we'd put together a quiz to test your knowledge.
