Strange Pub Names

[rickmcfc]

As im a driver for a living, i pass hundreds of pubs every day. Today i thought i would pull out a few strange titles. Near fiddlers ferry power station in Warrington, there is a pub called The Eight Chimneys, hence the 8 chimneys from the power plant. Then whilst in Liverpool i came across one that totally baffeled me. It was called The Everest. The only link i can think is someone climbed everest who owed the pub, but this cant be as the pub is old and the first succesful attempt to reach the top of Everest wasnt until 1953, the pub is older than this date. What strange pubs are you aware of and what is there name history?

There's the Swan & Cemetery and the Railway & Naturalist in Bury near Gigg Lane. No idea how either of them got those names.

In Northampton there's a pub called the White Elephant. This got its name as it was something to do with the Racecourse just across the road. However this closed leaving the building as a white elephant, hence the name.

In Stalybridge they have the two pubs with the shotest and longest names.
One is called "Y" or similar and the second one has something to do with a Regiment.
Help please on the confirmation !!
