The Union Inn, Saltash, Cornwall

With a Union Flag painted on the front and a mural painted on the side by artist David Whittley depicting local characters - this pub really stands out. A former landlord was Leading Seaman William Odgers VC who was decorated during the Maori Wars in 1860.

You certainly couldn't miss that one! I bet they catch a lot of tourist trade!

Lovely shot, but I was somewhat surprised to see this Keith. I'm amazed the pc council have permitted it, as likely to offend dozens of people from ethnic minorities and Guardian readers.
Having said that, Cornish folk are known for being none conformists ;-)

I suspect there would be rioting in the street if the council tried to get the pub changed. It's a real tourist trap in the summer months and the knock on effect for the other local traders won't be insignificant.
