I'm working in a town in northeast England at present, and today I found a cafe called Chapter 17. That doesn't sound very exciting, until you notice the White Stag on the roof!! (A life-sized model, as far as I could see)
I checked the final chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Yes, it's chapter 17, and it's called The Hunting Of The White Stag.
Wow!
[I tried to upload a photo, but it's too large. Will try another one tomorrow. ]
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."

That's really interesting! Did you go inside? I would expect a cafe with its name and outside decorations relating a little bit to Narnia would probably be decorated with somewhat Narnia related things on the inside, right?

@notswanwhite no, but I plan to visit as soon as I can. Maybe I can ask them about their love of Narnia !

I was a bit slow at getting this at first, missing the chapter 17 link and thought, well who says it's to do with Narnia? 😆
That's pretty cool to have that link! Great spot! 👍 It can't just be coincidental...

I am sure the pub is related to Narnia!
I made a series of posts about the White Stag and its symbolism in both Narnia and the real world, here.
There's also a herd of white deer living on a former army base in upstate New York.
