Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, rebuilt 1667 in the reign of Charles II and continued successively in the reigns of:
James II : 1685 - 1688
Interregnum : Dec. 11.1688 - Feb. 13.1689
William III & Mary II : 1689 - 1702
Anne : 1702 - 1714
George I : 1714 - 1727
George II : 1727 - 1760
George III : 1760 - 1820
George IV : 1820 - 1830
William IV : 1830 - 1837
Victoria : 1837 - 1901
Edward VII : 1901 - 1910
George V : 1910 - 1936
Edward VIII : 1936

When they add Charles III we wonder if they will remember to also increment the "15" on this sign.
