It was made compulsory in the time
of Richard H. for innkeepers to hang
out signs. But they became so large
as to impede the highway, and an act
was passed to limit them TO seven feet
in length. The last repressive act was
passed in 1862 for taking down all
overhanging signs, and this was so eff
fectual that scarcely any remained by
1770 except few over the bookstalls
in Holywell street.
Many signs had been painted by
world-renowned masters. For pic
ture of Shakespeare for a sign in Lit
tie Russell street, Drury Lane, the
sum of $500 was paid. The great
mart for the average potboiler sign
kept in stock was Harp Alley, Shoe
Lane. Some of the signs were so
preposterously massive as to pull out
the front of the house they adorned.
Such an event happened in st. Brides
Lane in 171S, killing. with others, the
Kings jeweler and two ladies' sign
Of the Three Queens, in Clerkwell, on
the other hand, was so firmly built in
that when ordered to be removed in
1764, it cost 9200 to take down.
The constructions reputed to be the
largest were the signs of the Castle, in
Fleet street, and of the White Hart, in
Southwark. Among the best modern
examples. the place of honor must be
given to the one at the bottom of st.
James's street. 1t was very effective.
