IF it once had a picture of a bluebell (flower) during its many changes, then why did that then revert back to a Blue Bell? Most probably someone had informed them that ‘Bluebells’ as in the flower was wrong!. Why did the sign not continue along its way with the flower?. You’ve only got hearsay and by presuming it was named after the flowers. Whereas the ‘Blue Bell’ pubs and nearby church is referenced to quite a few times in literature. Also other pubs named the Blue Bell as I know of, do indeed have a church close by. These are all facts and not imagination.
Once a Blue Bell regular, not any more. I was born/bred on the estate. A true Downall Greener, if born/bred classifies as one. Was in the Blue Bell after a funeral not too long ago. Regards.
