    A familiar sight on Alcester High Street has had a small but noticeable change, with The Turks Head unveiling a new pub sign.

    The new hanging sign, photographed on 13 August 2026, can be seen prominently above the pavement outside the pub. It features a refreshed design with The Turks Head lettering beneath a colourful Celtic-style knot.

    The photograph also captures a particularly colourful summer view along the High Street towards St Nicholas Church, with Alcester’s hanging baskets in full bloom and red, white and blue bunting stretching across the street.

    The Turks Head occupies a prominent position in the centre of Alcester, and its hanging sign has long formed part of the High Street streetscape. The new design represents another small change to the town centre and one worth recording as part of Alcester’s changing appearance.
