Summary
| Description |
English:
Sir Roger Tichborne pub sign, Alfold Bars. This public house re-opened in April 2009. Unfortunately when photographed the sun was out and the lighting fitment has cast a shadow across Sir Roger's face. However a 2006 photograph by Andy Potter shows this side of the sign and the other, which very unusually is different. The other side shows Arthur Orton, who pretended to Sir Roger, when the latter disappeared at sea. Despite the facts that Sir Roger spoke French fluently and was slim, whereas Arthur Orton spoke no French and was over weight, some people happily accepted him as the genuine article.

It seems that in its previous life the pub was a King & Barnes house. The main difference between the two pub sign photos is that the K & B logo, on the top of the sign, had been removed by the time the 2009 photo was taken.
