The Squinting Cat

The Squinting Cat, pub title, at Harrogate derives from the habits of a former landlady, known in uncomplimentary vein as 't'owd cat', because of her way of peering from behind the curtains to scrutinize approaching customers! The Mansfield sign won first prize in a Paint-a-Pub Competition, and displays a cat who has obviously sampled the contents of a leaking barrel all too well and far too freely!
