When you look at the photo that Stuart has shared you can see that it is almost certainly the same building. The relative that lived there is listed in the 1888 City and County Directory as living there until it was sold in 1932.

Definitely Whitemoor House. They owned or managed the Daybrook Bleach Works, so obviously had a fair bit of money back in the day. I've also found newspaper articles showing that they sold eggs and ducks and loaned their boar for services (whatever that may be!!), etc from Whitemoor House.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I have found a newspaper clipping from 1936 stating that Whitemoor house had been purchased by shipstones 12 years earlier and they were wanting to turn it into a ‘modern hotel’. With this on mind I still believe that the original house, or part of it, is what is now the Whitemoor pub. Shame there’s no photos of it back in the day to confirm it one way or another.

Hi all, just to let you know that it was my ancestors that lived at Whitemoor house! The Farrand family. Farrand was my maiden name. I’ve lived in Nottingham my whole life and used to drive past the Whitemoor pub to go to work and never knew any of this until I started doing my family tree just after Christmas! Sadly I can’t find any info about the house at all but assume it’s what is now the pub. Nice to hear all of your memories from that area
