'Old Sign of the Dog and Duck.', (c1878). The Dog and Duck tavern stood on the site of what later became the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark, south London. The stone carving, thought to date from 1716, consisted of two panels showing the arms of the City Ward of Bridge Without [Southwark], and a dog holding a duck by the neck. The sign was removed from the tavern and mounted in a wall of the hospital, and later donated to the Cuming Museum. From Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places.
