  1. Talking to Basford lad at work today about this topic he tells me the trolley bus from town centre to Bulwell market place which ran via the shoulder of mutton was locally known as the Rocket , also all the windows on the Rocket where engraved with the initials CK so maybe Chris King did have something to do with it .
  2. I remember it was called the shoulder of mutton , then changed to Nottms 1st fun pub , which was packed solid but made no money due to the artists they where putting on , door staff and most of the bar staff dancing on the bar instead of serving beer . The DJ and might have also been the owner was Chris King who went on to have a number 1 record " please don't go " i believe it was called Ziggy's bar or Ringo's bar before closing down .
