Origins of "Anchor" as a Pub Name
There are two common origins of the Anchor pub name. The first of course is the maritime connection, a ship's anchor, and many coastal pubs called the Anchor are likely to have this root. The second is a Christian biblican reference from the Letter to the Hebrews "we have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul - a hope".
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.

With so many pubs across the UK regularly opening, closing, changing hands, changing name it's a non-stop job keeping our database up to date!
