Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sun & 13 Cantons is a pub at the top (north) end of Great Pulteney Street, No 21. What is the story behind this name? (Two pages into a Google search gave no answer to this question but did provide another image of the pub: http://tinyurl.com/7xpf4l ) Geograph member Nigel Brown suggests a Swiss origin for the pub's name, the sun being a long-established symbol for Geneva and the 13 Cantons representing the Old Swiss Confederacy. He reports that the pub is described as "Swiss-style" on one website.
