The name of this pub is unusual as it is not a corruption of the Blue Boar as are other Blue Pigs , the name comes from the Pig Iron that was transported on the old canal that used to run past the pub (its at the bottom of the Trench incline) the pig iron was generally a blue colour . The Brewery did attempt to rename it the Shropshire Arms but nobody took any notice so Blue Pig it remains
