The "Bush, Blackbird and Thrush", no-one seems to know exactly how the name came about. Bush, one might deduce, is from the old Roman sign for an inn, but where do the birds come in? The Pigot's Directory of 1828 identified this as simply the "Bush," and all the census reports referred to it as this until the 1881 census when it was called the full name we see today of "Bush, Blackbird and Thrush."
