Some other 20th C notables could be: The Sidney Camm (designer of the Hawker Hurricane, Tempest, Fury & Hunter to name but a few) The Barnes Wallace (complete with a picture of a bouncing bomb for the pub sign...) The Roy Chadwick (designed the Lancaster and Vulcan bombers) The General Slim (After Bill Slim of Burma)
Also The Three Pigs in Corsham has a sign above the door that says 'This is a real ale pub. Lager drinkers will be tolerated as long as they keep quiet' a sentiment I've always rather admired. It's certainly possible to run a successful pub without selling the usual crap beer, you just have to make sure that you make it a selling point and that it's well publicised.
