Duke of York, Cowes History of Whitbread Inn signs - rare card collection

DUKE OF YORK
Cowes

Popular with yachtsmen, this inn is very close to some of the world-famous boatyards at Cowes. Many public houses are named after dukes for many reasons: in this case there is a strong connection with the Royal Family at nearby Osborne House; but, by way of a change, the sign shows the battleship of the Duke of York.
