Numerous other signs are connected with Royalty. Thus we have two examples of the ALBERT, one of the ROYAL ALBERT, one of the ALBERT HOUSE, one of the KING OF PRUSSIA (formerly a very common sign), one of the QUEEN ADELAIDE (which is at least forty years old), one of the QUEEN ELIZABETH, four of the PRINCE ALFRED, one of the DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, two of the DUKE OF EDINBURGH (neither of which existed twenty years ago), one of the CLARENCE (of course commemorating the DUKE OF CLARENCE, afterwards King William IV.), three of the DUKE OF YORK (probably commemorating the second son of George III., who died in 1827, though one or more of the earlier Dukes of York may also be intended), five of the ROYAL INN, one of the QUEEN, one of the QUEEN VICTORIA, ten of the VICTORIA, one of the ROYAL SOVEREIGN, one of the ROYAL ARMS, one of the ROYAL FOREST HOTEL, one ROYAL STEAMER, one ROYAL ESSEX ARMS, five of the ROYAL HOTEL, eighteen of the ROYAL OAK, one of the OLD ROYAL OAK, one of the KING’S OAK, four of the ROYAL STANDARD, three of the QUEEN’S ARMS, nineteen of the QUEEN’S HEAD, seventeen of the KING’S ARMS, forty-nine of the KING’S HEAD, one of the OLD KING’S HEAD, twelve of the PRINCE OF WALES, one of the PRINCESS OF WALES, one of the PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR, one of the PRINCESS ALICE, two of the PRINCESS ALEXANDRA, one of WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR (at Widdington), two of WILLIAM THE FOURTH, and two of KING WILLIAM THE FOURTH, one of which is placed at a “four-want-way” at Leaden Roothing, and forms a landmark well known to every one who rides to hounds or travels by road in “The Roothings.” The KING WILLIAM and the KING WILLIAM IV. are both common beer-house signs, probably because the act authorizing the opening of these houses was passed in his reign. The beer-retailers of the time, when casting about for a sign, naturally selected the sovereign of their day. In the first form the sign occurs at Bocking, Springfield, &c., and under the latter at Braintree, Chigwell, and elsewhere. The PRINCE OF WALES, too, is a very common beer-house sign, as also the VICTORIA, the QUEEN VICTORIA, the QUEEN’S HEAD, and the QUEEN’S ARMS. PRINCE ALFRED is commemorated on a beer-house sign at Chigwell. At the same place is a BRITISH QUEEN (beer-house), by which probably is intended Queen Boadicea, who received her last overthrow in the neighbourhood. The PRINCE OF ORANGE still figures as a beer-house sign at Chelmsford. The sign of PRINCE OF WALES’ HEAD existed at Harwich in 1764, as it is mentioned in a number of the _Chelmsford Chronicle_ for that year; and a ROYAL MORTAR (whatever that might be) was to be seen at Colchester twenty years ago. Messrs. Larwood and Hotten mention the strange sign of the *THREE QUEENS, which was, until lately, to be seen at Moulsham. They surmise that it was suggested by the common sign of the THREE KINGS, of which we have no example in Essex, unless the THREE TRAVELLERS, which occurs near Romford, and is
