The pineapple is a symbol for hospitality, which also why you often see it on top of gateposts.

Are any of the pubs still going? We used to start at the Smiths Arms on Marsh Lane and from there to the Waterloo, Black Dog,Fishermans Hut,Spring Close,Yew Tree,Hampton,Cross Green and if we could still stand up by then, the Bridgefield.Only 2 remain Yew Tree and Spring CloseChris Moyles has been known to frequent the Spring Close occasionally That was pretty much my Friday night out,followed by a long walk up Lupton Avenue to get home.
