Royal Crown Derby Admiral Lord Nelson Pub
Limited Edition of 950 3¼" £100

To commemorate the Bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar and the life of Nelson, we have commissioned Royal Crown Derby to produce the Admiral Lord Nelson pub. A one-off model that will not be used again, the pub is based on a typical Georgian public house with the upper front window designed to resemble the captain's gallery on the upper deck of the stern of a warship of the period.

Using beautiful turquoise and cream colouring, Louise Adams has decorated the pub with references to Nelson and Trafalgar. A billboard poster reproduces the Times Newspaper of 7 November 1805 announcing the capture of the foreign fleets and the death of Nelson. The opposite side wall has the flags that represent Popham's Telegraphic code for "England Expects" which was the start of Nelson's famous pre-battle signal to his fleet.

Reverse Detail

Govier's has commissioned this superb pair of traditional Derby Dwarfs to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the life of Admiral Lord Nelson. Inspired by costumes of the period, the Dwarfs are decorated in the rich colours of cobalt blue and gold for which Derby is so famous. The 'low' dwarf has a wonderful hand painted scene from the Battle of Trafalgar on his hat and the famous signal of 'England Expects...' which Nelson sent to the fleet before the battle. The 'tall' dwarf has a superb hand painted portrait of Nelson and the inscription inspired by the Times headline that broke the news of the battle including the date 21st October 1805 and the announcement of the death of Nelson.
