18th Century Publicans

I was looking through a copy of Sketchley's trade directory published in 1767 [the earliest record of trades etc. in a directory] for Deritend. And then I thought I could type up a list that would be useful for others. I don't think this is available elsewhere as a listing. I have only got up to 'F' but I am sure this short list includes many an inn sign that is new to forum members. I have typed up as is so some spellings may be different. There are some anomalies in that several names appear for the same pub.
