. A traditional painted Rigby's pub sign advertises a Trafalgar Room, quality beers, wine, food and Tetley Walker Ltd. The older trade sign records pub heritage and a named room; the wording should not be mistaken for proof that all the advertised products or room arrangements still apply today. The painted sign combines a historic room name with brewery lettering and traditional lettering styles. The Trafalgar Room wording is part of the sign, while alternative references to a Nelson Room may reflect later usage and should be checked before being applied to the current venue. Historic signs can outlast commercial tie arrangements, pub ownership and changes to the food or drink menu. The gold lettering and deep traditional colours create an older commercial style unlike many contemporary pub fascias. The green Rigby's board lists a Trafalgar Room, food, beers, wines and Tetley Walker Ltd, preserving the wording of an earlier trade sign. Thomas Rigby's occupies historic Rigby's Buildings at 23–25 Dale Street. The Trafalgar Room is a name on the sign, not independently established as a room currently offered to customers. The wording TRAFALGAR ROOM preserves a historic room name associated with the premises, even though the room has also been described in more recent use as the Nelson Room. Thomas Rigby's occupies 23–25 Dale Street, a historic central Liverpool thoroughfare with a long tradition of commercial hospitality. Tetley Walker lettering dates the identity of the painted trade advertisement rather than establishing a present supplier contract. Hand-painted pub advertising is valuable evidence of changing brewing ownership, product marketing and how separate rooms once formed part of a public house's identity. The combination of beer, wine and food offers reflects a familiar multifunctional pub business model. The image can support architectural and local-history reporting without suggesting that the old lettering is a current menu or booking notice.
