I cant imagine any black person being offended legitimately so seems like a charming decoration of a bygone age. I have sold quite a few Jolly Negro coin banks in my time, very popular they are

here is one for sale on ebay

One or two as part of decoration reflecting a particular period, sure. 15 of them hung around the bar is deliberately trying to make some sort of point. It has to be. I refuse to believe that anyone is just THAT bad at decorating their pub.

"Hey we need more decorations what will we get?"

"Yet another gollywog?"

"Yes excellent."



I also see no indication anywhere else in their decor that it's a deliberate era-based theme. It looks like a Wetherspoons with gollywogs nailed to the walls ffs.
