Ashley Willerton – Historic Pub Signage

Ash was recently commissioned to bring one of Newcastle’s oldest pub signs back to life.

Named after its original proprietor in 1778, Richard Swarley, this historic C18th building has now been restored to its former glory thanks to Ash’s sympathetic design & colour scheme.
