The nearby mill is depicted on the pub sign. Today the mill itself is a public house called the Rivermill Tavern. So the sign today shows a pub on the pub sign! Of course, the image here is one of when the mill was working, its waterwheel is in place, a horse and cart stand outside and the miller steadies the horse.
There is a blue plaque on the pub which reads:
'Eatons Community Association
Millers Arms
This building and the house next door
(Misers Hoard) were owned by the same family
in the late 18th century. Licensed in 1842, this
beerhouse was known as 'The pub with no sign'.
By the 1890s, the pub was known as 'The Millers
Arms' and the road was known as Acreman Street,
Silver Street or Cow Lane. Until the 1990s,
the pub was very small and drinks
were served in small cosy
surroundings.
