Origins of "Woolpack" as a Pub Name
The woolpack was a traditional container for wool. It was a large, cylindrical bag made of cloth or leather, and it was often used to transport wool to market. As pubs were often frequented by merchants and traders, the woolpack became a popular symbol for commerce and prosperity.
The woolpack was also associated with the wool trade, which was a major industry in Britain for centuries. This made it a natural choice for a pub name, as pubs were often seen as a place where people could come together and socialize.
What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
