GREENE King says a proposed make over of signage on its historic The Royal Standard has taken “a sympathetic consideration” for the style and position of the Ely pub.

Plans for revamped exterior signs are now before East Cambs District Council and the upgrade of the Forehill pub will “rebrand the amenity signage” says the brewery.

The new signage will not involve structural redevelopment of the listed building: Greene King says replacement branding is simply a “like for like’ design.

Modern materials will be used to increase the life span of the signs “however they are finished in traditional methods and coloured to be in keeping with the current area”.
