Some of them date back centuries and actually have historical meanings for the time they were started. I'd love to know some of those stories.

As a matter of fact, the first one - The Gate Hangs Well comes from the fact that the river floods a lot and flood gates were installed way back when that "hung well" and stopped flooding. Check them out @ Pub Syston Restaurant Syston Leicestershire The Gate Hangs Well
