The Nags-Head I was a bit puzzled about the combination of the
second sign. However, it may be simply that there is another Nag's Head
nearby in Leicester City Centre and the 'Star' was added for ease of
identification. The Nag's Head is a very popular pub sign and thought to
originate from the fact that a pony or 'nag' could be hired from an inn,
most of which had their own stables for visitors or coaches. The first
sign is located in
Nuneaton. The original pub of this name was a local
pick-up and drop-off point for waggoners who operated goods services to
and from Atherstone and Coventry.
